That's what I named this one.I just wanted a simple Osage hunting bow.And It will bury an arrow deep in the target.This was made from some of that Tennessee Osage out of Pappy's stock.It has a nice dark orange color with some little curves and a few dips.I put some zebra wood tips onthe 1/4" nocks.The fades started at 1 1/2".It is also 63" N to N.She is still a petit girl ,60# @ 28".And it really loves Art Butner's cane arrows.

That's a mighty fine looking bow. With a profile like that she'll get the job done - and then some.

Super nice! I don't know if I have ever seen Osage that dark, sure is pretty. Your full draw and unbraced pic are second to none. No wonder it burys an arrow deep in the target!
-
Plain Jane doesn't look plain to me - very nice !
...and I second the comment on the color of the osage - I don't think I have ever seen one with quite so dark a reddish-orange color to it either.
really nice looking bow !
-
Very nice Eddie.

Looks great man!! 63" N/N and still pulling it @ 28"? so that's what you were trying to tell me, and with no string follow - I'll get there one day :).

Really nice, Eddie....you make some of the nicest shooting bows I've had the pleasure to pull............Charlie

Suddenly some amazing bows are showing up, and this one is. The zebra wood looks great. It looks great all the way around.

Nice bow Eddie.60# out of 63" at your draw is impressive.Hope to see it at Cades sometime.Have fun. Tom

Tom, You've already seen this one.It's the one I was working on at Pat's get together.
-
And I thought I was paying attention.Been wrong before.Should I say looking foward to seeing it shoot.My hat comes off to you and the other guys that can keep the reflex,induced or otherwise.Much for me to learn. Have fun anyway.Miss ya at Cades this weekend.Tom

Nice looking bow Eddie,you done a fine job.I love that dark Osage,working on one right now.
The tiller looks great and the profile is great.Now go out and kill something with it.The one
I am working on now is very dense,and heavy.Is that one that way also ? They may have come from the same tree.It was cut in 03 or 04. :)
