October is shaping up to have some good entries! We still have a couple weeks left, so if you want to be in the running for October, get them bows posted!

Bentstick when I harvested Osage I would cut a small pie shape from the bottom of the trunk of the tree. Check the rings and if they did not make the two to one ratio I would leave it standing and move on to the next tree. That and bark going straight up and down the trunk.

Daaaaaang - That is the holy grail of staves - resulting in a beautiful bow.

Arvin--wow. I bet that's a sweet shooter. Hopefully I'll get my hands on a stave like that someday.

So I’ll contribute to the fun. Osage, plain and simple. 42#@28”, 66” ntn. Took advantage of a little natural wiggle at the handle so string lines up with the edge of the sight window. Not center shot, but close to it. 5 coats of Truoil finish, and hobby store leather handle wrap.
