Gun Doc’s tale of an old fencepost osage http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,33710.15.html
Here is what Gun Doc had to say of his build: I really enjoyed coaxing a bow out of that post! Thank you for that Sadie. I have to admit that i was doubtful a few times while working on it. I don't believe there was an extra ounce of sound wood in that post that was not needed for the bow. It ended up 49" ntn and I wanted 26" draw out of it so it got a couple layers of sinew. I then tillered it for the most speed I could get without stack. It ended up pretty fast. 160fps avg with 350gr arrows. They were a little light I know, but all that i had. The skins are garter snake that i caught on my place. Here are a few more pics. Josh

Thanks Will! I was pleasantly surprised both times. I even went out and bought lotto tickets thinking I was on one heck of a lucky streak. Apparently that extraordinary good luck only worked on bom, but that's all good by me! Josh
