Title: Christmas exchange osage selfbow
Post by: scrub-buster on December 30, 2010, 01:36:00 AM
Here is my latest bow (#7).  Osage, 66" long, 50# @ 26".  5 coats of tru-oil.  It has some character to it.  The upper limb has some waves in it.  It started with 2" of natural reflex, mostly off of the handle, and ended up with 1" left after tillering and shooting.  This is my hardest shooting bow so far.  Hopefully the recipient enjoys it.
