Just to show I wasn't yankin' yall's chain about six bows in three weeks. Osage, stiff handle. 60 inches long and 45# @ 26".
-
That's a great bow. I need one just like it around 70 lbs. for a friend. I plan to someday get around to it but who knows when that will be.
-
Sweet bow, it's got a great profile
-
Wow! that is a high brace!
Nice job!
-
You have been cranking them out Jon. I love the tiller on that bow. Great job.
-
That's a beauty. :)
Pappy

Sweet!!! :)
-
Just what the doctor ordered.Very nice bow.
-
Another nice one. All in all excellent lines and tiller is great.

You must have a bunch of little elves workin around your shop to help you spit them bows out that fast. :o
-
Great looking bow, Jon! Nice curves, sexy!
-
I appreciate the kind words fellas.
Kenny I don't have any elves, but Santa did bring me a nice belt sander. Tillers a bow in nothing flat. :)
-
I like it! Very nice. And six bows in three weeks.... wow :o . And by the looks of them, good quality bows too.
-
Very nice! Ed
-
I like that wide limb profile. Looks like it took zero set. Nice bow!
-
Great looking bow, I like the shape and the tips. The brace height is too high for me because you lose too much of your power stroke with a 26" draw.

Thanks for the comments John. About the brace height comment, I 've heard that before but I don't understand it. 45# at 26" is the same regardless of brace height. I know this to be fact because I have checked it on several bows.

I believe he is meaning that, a bow with a high brace..say 8" and one with a 5" brace, the bow with the 5" brace, the string is in contact(pushing) with the string for and additional 3 inches over the 8" braced bow..In theory a faster arrow, with a smaller brace height...

LOoks fine to me !
Nice job man that bow looks so sweet !

That makes sense, but my brace is less than fistmele in the pic. I can't see that there would be much difference in say 5 1/2" brace verses a 5" brace.

Good looking bow! I really like the smooth transition from handle to limb and that complete lack of set speaks well of your tillering. :)
-
Nicely done osage bow Jon. Looks like a smooth shooter there with that profile and tiller. I like those tip shapes also, well done.
-
You been a busy beaver aintcha Jon. Really nice work. Been too busy lately to get on and see what everyones been up to. I might have to get me one of them there belt sander things. Seems like it takes me forever to get a bow finished. Love everything about that bow. Keep em crankin. Danny
-
Again very nice, really love the pfofiles!
-
Very nicely done Sir!
-
Sorry about the comment about brace, it looks great. I am always trying to get the most speed out of my bows by getting the longest power stroke ( brace height to full draw) but then there is comfort, what feels best, I have a lower brace than most people.
Its a great bow you have there.
