Title: Thank You Bow
Post by: Olschool on July 17, 2012, 06:52:36 pm

I just realized I never posted this bow  :-[
Almost 2yrs ago my boss at that time saw one of my Osage selfbows and told me I could come out to his ranch and cut some Osage!!
So after cutting, splitting, sealing, and seasoning I picked a stave and made this bow to thank him and to try and get him away from his wheelie bow  >:D

That's a really nice bow, nice tiller and I dig the handle wrap.  Reminds me of a Timo handle wrap.

That is a good looking bow!  How long is it?  I bet it shoots good.  If that didn't get him off the training wheels, I don't know what would. :)

That one is 62" ntn, I liked the way it shot so much he almost didn't get it.
I gave it to him at Cabela's in the archery range, (10yds) his first 4 arrows went into a fist sized group. He was thrilled
