Gnarly American hornbeam
Selfbowman:
Jim I love it! I would have never seen a bow in that stave. My hats off to you sir! I have to say you must be bored and out of staves! 🤠🤠🤠
Jim Davis:
Arvin, you are about right on your assessment of my attitude and resources. :-)
I have another stave from the same log that has less dramatic irregularities. I do have some Osage, but it is not very good. Lately, I have been making Osage limbs backed with hickory, elm or tree of heaven. They are quick to make and look and shoot great. I'll have some of those at the Classic too.
Selfbowman:
It’s my plan to be at the Classic unless GOD or life says different. I’ve been building quite a few bows .
Jim Davis:
Here's a pic of one of my backed Osage bows.
JW_Halverson:
That'll do just fine, Jimm-O, just fine indeed!
I just gotta laugh about this bow because I got some newbie on F/B telling me real bowyers never touch anything but the top-quality woods. Hey Jim, sorry to hear you have been demoted from the ranks of "Real Bowyers". Don't worry, you are in good company.
