Handle spliced and urac applied for Xxxxxx's bow..
The osage was cut from a fencepost taken from a farm in Ohio. Not sure about the age of the wood, but my grandfather worked on the farm as a kid...
Would have turned the post into a selfbow, but with all of the nail holes, I was lucky to get to clean slats..

I like it Kevin... Hope its coming my way! Really any of the bows I have seen so far I would be tickled with....

Still waiting on my dang glue to show up... it is killing me not getting anywhere on this thing

Hey kenny, when your done with that bandsaw i'd be glad to take it off your hands, i'll even drive up and pick it up for free   :D   That's a nice set-up you have there, and the bow's lookin pretty good too   ;)

Goobersan..My uncle made mine for me.  We were talking about having one made in a D and he gave it to me some time later.  He made it out of a brazing rod and small steel rod.  The straight part of the arrow and the bend in the D is a small steel rod and the broadhead and feathers are made of brass.  I'll get a pic of it of on here tomorrow.  

 Everybodies stuff is looking awsome.  It just blows my mind the stuff that all you talented people come up with.

Yay from me Duck. 'D' looks great also.

bigbob2

Trux doing mosiacs like yours would drive me right around the bend!Really great stuff!

Thanks guys- Bob other than a little extra time they are fairly easy. This one should be ready to glue into a riser today- just need to get a riser prepared for it....

Been away for a few days and I see that there are several great looking bows coming along and some even finished and shipped.  Wow!

I did get to work on that nasty osage stave some.  Here are a couple pics to show what I'm  dealing with.  I think it should have been a fence post!  I do now have it down to a good ring.  I had to go about an inch further than I wanted because of some checking.

IF!! it makes a bow I'm calling it "Knot Head"



goobersan

Perfect !!  that's my nickname. I'll be waiting for it to arrive   :laughing:

David that's some fun times right there... psh maybe fence post for the lighthearted.
He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow, and concealed me in his quiver. Isaiah 49:2

Well.... What do ya think? Ship it, or chop it? I shot another 75 or so arrows through it this afternoon, it spits em out pretty good and where I'm lookin' so that's a plus  :)  It shot best with a 6.5" brace and wood #45-50 29" arrows with 125gr points















All I have to do is sign it and ship it...

Trux Turning

Sign and ship it- you'll make someone's day!!
