Title: Canebreak Osage
Post by: Dvshunter on February 12, 2011, 08:14:37 pm

This is a bow I recently finished and shared on another forum. I made it turkey hunting this spring. All osage with a canebreak skin for camo. It is 57in. ntn and draw 60@26. I used a r/d caul to give the profile some shape. I wish I would have added a touch more reflex in hindsight.

The limbs are 1 7/16 wide from the fade out to midlimb then tapering to 7/17 nocks.

nice job on that.  Best of luck getting a turkey with it.  I love chasing turkeys with a bow.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.  This little bow was one that just kind of made itself. You all know how it is! Some wood just wants to become a bow, and then there are those pieces that fight you the whole time with one issue or another until they, or you give in.  I can't wait to see this thing with a little color after some sun.
