Title: Plain Jane
Post by: Parnell on November 15, 2014, 03:23:19 pm: An Eastern Woodland bow made of Osage. 55#@28". Side knocks with horn overlays and a pink and orange fast flight string. Beaver balls for string silencers. I have her braced at 6.5" and the bow is 64.5" between knocks.

Cheers.

P.s. This stave came from OO.

Side nocks have become my favorites.....easy to make and I like how you can control the string tracking by which side you put them on (specially on the wiggly stuff). On opposite sides for straight down the middle and both on one side to steer the string to that side or the other.

Post by: Badly Bent on November 15, 2014, 08:58:26 pm: Very nice bend. I like the simple style of a bendy bow like that and those side nocks fit right in on that bow
as well. Nicely done Stephen.

Post by: Jodocus on November 16, 2014, 02:57:26 am: Nice and pure, lovely wood. Beavers seem to have quite big and hairy balls. Mine would not make realy good silencers, I guess. ;)
