osage for a friend
« on: November 07, 2011, 03:39:44 pm »
Here is an osage bow I made for a friend of mine as a trade for a knife he made me. A fun bow to make, my 10th or so. Its 58" ntn, 52# at 25". Riser is walnut, tips are some kind of exotic wood for pen blanks I got at rockler, a very hard, dense wood. Its sanded with progressively finer grit up to 400, burnished and finished with 10 coats of tung oil and 2 coats of paste wax. hope you like it.

                                             God bless, cody

If your friend runs out of arrows, the tip on that sucker will make a good shank!  That's a beautiful bow you made there, congrats!

I gotta say you sure know your beans when it comes to finishing off a bow!  With a tiller job as sweet as that, I can see why you take your time making sure it looks professionally finished out. 

You got my admiration!
