Osage Selfbow
« on: November 17, 2025, 11:28:51 pm »
I finished up my last one for awhile,due to getting a minor hand surgery. I decided to try flipping the tips for the 1st time. Heated out 1 small hump in the upper limb, and evened up both limbs to be straight. ( No reflex). 66” ntn, 46#@ 28”. 1-1/2” wide at fades, tapering to 1” wide 7” from tips, the tapering to 3/8” tips.

That one turned out well.  Looks like you got the tips flipped just fine.  Good luck with your surgery!
