Osage turkey hunter
« on: November 29, 2015, 10:45:46 pm »
Bow was made for a gentleman in Kansas who loves to knock down turkeys.
66"ntn 65#@28" dyed deer leather with blue glass beads and dentalium shells.
Sorry to disappoint but there is no full draw picture.
It was really nice to dig into some Osage. the billets I got from Carson a few years ago at the Moses lake rock shoot.
Anyways, thanks take'n a peek 😬

Nice smooth curves 8). That bow deserves a deer or two as well. Hopefully he likes shooting it enough to hunt both.

I'm actually about to start an osage stave(first one) and was looking to hit that draw weight. Would you mind providing the limb width and thickness? It might help to put me in the ball park. Thanks.
I have nothing but scorn for all weird ideas other than my own.

Lovely. Just lovely.
Straight wood may make a better bow, but crooked wood makes a better bowyer

Beautiful bow! Really liking that handle color too!
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short. Amen.

Beautiful Bow Bryce! I bet it thumps a couple of turkeys.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
