Board or a Stave? second bow on page 2
« on: September 25, 2018, 06:41:51 pm »
Well either way it the first bow I've made from a board.

I have a cousin (actually I've got a whole bunch of cousins). This one is actually a In Law cousin from Flint Ridge Ohio area originally.  He brought some rock and Osage back on a recent visit back home. He has a sawmill and wanted to cut some for lumber. He wanted to give me a board. We cut down to just a little before center then flipped log and cut it till he couldn't hold it in clamp any longer. It was about 1 1/8 thick

He has adopted quadruplets. I wanted to make a kids bow for them. The rings where running straight up and down on the board I split about five "staves" from the board. Then chased a ring. Made a sweet little kids bow. I'll try get some pictures of one soon. Here's the board and transition to stave.

This one has a knot hole. It's the one I finished the Bow from. I love these little kids bows.

That is too cool BJ. I would never have known that came from a board.

It was a amazingly straight Osage. I wish I would have kept I two inches thick.

That's awesome.  I like making kids bows also.  Looks like some very nice osage.

I called it "1-4 All"  cause so far they just got the one bow for the four of them.

Dandy set you have there with with the quiver and arrows too. Nice job!

WIth work like that you can call it what you want(board/stave) :) Ring chased and grain followed my vote would be stave. I just started roughing out some elm that I ripped with a chain saw some time ago but never thought twice about it not being a stave. Mike
