Just another hedge bow, * better pics at the bottom *
« on: May 21, 2011, 11:44:46 am »
As usual Im a horrible bow centerfold picture taker. My wife is in DC and took the good camera. This is a semi working handle osage bow I built from a stave my friend Clint (a.k.a. Osage Outlaw) gave to me to work. Its 63" ntn, 54# @ 28". The handle is a temporary wrap until I decide for certain where the arrow pass wil be. Its finsihed with 8 coats of Tru Oil and thats about it. Pretty plain Jane bow...................just what I like!

Feel free to edit the pics all you want, if possible. I cant seem to get the size thing figured out. Im a little better at building bows than operating cameras...................or anything with power going to it!

I agree, the pics are fine, just a little too small.   If we try to enlarge them they won't look as good.  I wanted to say they appear to be thumbnails, but they're a little larger than that.  Not sure your best approach.  I'd wager the originals are quite a bit larger.

That turned out good.  I'm glad you were able to squeeze a bow out of it.  How does it shoot?   I wish the pics were a liittle bigger so I could get a better look at it.
