Simple Osage Longbow
« on: August 08, 2015, 01:54:48 pm »
This is another one of the bows I made for someone with a long draw.it is a simple Osage selfie. I used some wood scraps for tip overlays and hemp for the shelf and grip wrap. It holds an inch and a half of reflex after me shooting it. I used a mineral oil and carnuba wax mix for a finish. I really like this simple style bow. Long lean and clean.

Long, lean and clean is right!  Nice bow!

That's the way I like 'em; clean and classic.  Really nice work.
