Hey guys, been making bows, but nothing really special until today, i finished this twisty Osage bow. Made from kinda a junk piece that i turned into a sweet little bow. its 64" long and 62# @ 27". Its very narrow in most spots, the bottom limb is just over an inch wide. It has a nice rounded belly and nice blended grip. I am very pleased with the way this turned out, just smooth as glass, i love it. Ipe tip overlays, chocolate deer leather grip and i sinewed the last 8" inches of both tips for a little added eye appeal and to cover up a little check i didn't like. thanks for lookin- Ryan

Thanks guys, i got a request for another nice character osage bow so hopefully i will have pics of another one in a few weeks. these things are just way fun, sure beats the daily grind of making straight bows. This is what bow making is all about for me.
