Osage Sudbury Wampanoag design
« on: November 02, 2016, 09:35:29 pm »
i have made several bows but this is the first I have posted. It is made from the King of bow wood, in the Sudbury design.... 68" NTN and around 55#.

It shoots snappy with little hand shock....I like it, hope you do.

Nice bow sir...  I particularly like your nocks.  What's the patterning I see on the back of the bow?  Care to give us a close-up of that?  -OneBow

Nice bow!  Yeah, gotta love Osage. :)
Yeah, I remember when we had a President who didn't wear a tinfoil hat.

Thanks a lot everyone, not something I do often but always enjoy it when I do.

Onebow, that bow has a little character in the upper limb and the patterning on the back is where I left a little extra wood on the knots. Probably didnt have to but it tillered nicely and will be stronger I think. As it darkens with age I think those knot areas will come out more.

I do like it. I really like Sudbury style bows. The grain and color around the handle looks really nice.
