Title: Osage selfbow
Post by: Bob W. on February 14, 2017, 07:22:08 pm

Greetings PA. This stave was cut in Jan 2015, I acquired it in a trade with Aaron (Falcon). Thanks A a ron.  Did not do anything other than flipped the tips and fill the knothole with sawdust and TB3 and darkened it. Came in at 55@28" and is 65" long and shoots smoothly.  Osage tip overlays and finished with Danish oil wax. Thanks for looking!(http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv24/licenseddadad/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-02/IMG_20170214_170937_zpsoddydxnv.jpg) (http://s666.photobucket.com/user/licenseddadad/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-02/IMG_20170214_170937_zpsoddydxnv.jpg.html)(http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv24/licenseddadad/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-02/IMG_20170214_171039_zpsl9rn9wnk.jpg) (http://s666.photobucket.com/user/licenseddadad/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-02/IMG_20170214_171039_zpsl9rn9wnk.jpg.html)(http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv24/licenseddadad/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-02/IMG_20170214_171156_zpswknzapus.jpg) (http://s666.photobucket.com/user/licenseddadad/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-02/IMG_20170214_171156_zpswknzapus.jpg.html)(http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv24/licenseddadad/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-02/IMG_20170214_171150_zps40smordt.jpg) (http://s666.photobucket.com/user/licenseddadad/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-02/IMG_20170214_171150_zps40smordt.jpg.html)

Two in one day, and they say I am as busy as a beaver  ;D This one is just as sweet as your first. Both my kids just saw this one and love it as much as me. Way to go!

   A fine bow.  Good looking wood and just a little character.

I need to lay hands on more osage.
