Title: Hard at work with my first Osage bow
Post by: bowhntineverythingnh03743 on March 29, 2011, 02:05:29 am

Just thought I would upload a picture of me chasing my first ring on my first Osage... Maybe it will bring back memories of your first stave. I hope the bow will be 68 inches tip to tip and 1 1/2 inch wide limbs and be around 55-50#

More to follow hopefully tomorrow when I lay the bow out.... I may have some questions for you experts out there tomorow when I start.... Justin (New Hampshire)

Thanks guys I got done at midnight last night. It is a pretty straight piece but there is one bow in about a 6 inch length near a mid limb. I will take a picture of it when I get home to show you. If you could look at it and point me into the direction I need to go with laying it out I would appreciate it. I know I have to follow that grain but I just would like another couple opinions.... See ya later.

PS_ Del I had to put those gloves on... I ripped the *#&%$ out of my palms from bearing down with the scrapers... I learned slow and easy win the race LOL!!!
