Character Osage Question :-{)

DCM · March 06, 2005, 06:42:00 PM

That's the ugliest thing I ever seen Dano. I like it. ;-) Great job!

Dang, I went back and looked at all the other pages I figured out I missed the whole build. Nice job dealing with that big knot. I was afraid that one was gonna get you when I first swaw it. Looks it's gonna hold.

David thank you, I just thought you were mad about that comment I made on your post about your new chronograph, you know the gram scale from your college daze, but I knew better.

Dano · March 06, 2005, 08:39:00 PM

Thanks Nick and Dave, I almost have your last project done good timing buddy.

Timo · March 06, 2005, 08:52:00 PM

Dano, I am impressed with ya bud! Wasn't sure about that knot. But I see that you have her taimed.Good job!It was a good buildalong.I have a few of those kind of staves.I guess I need to build a few...Eh?

You sure are gonna be busy showin bows at Mojam this year?

Dano · March 06, 2005, 09:00:00 PM

Timo you my friend have built some dandy's yourself, I look forward to seeing your work as well.

:D

Dano,I'm slowly working on a minimally character laden osage.64" NTN 4" handle 2" fades.1 3/8" tapering down to 1/2" tips.I guess you would call it a pyramid style.No knots or pins to speak of,has some side to side wave and a little prop twist.One little whoopdy doo that is like a step down.Getting ready to put on the short string.

Way to pull it off Dano. I just cut a lot of excess wood of mine with a band saw yesterday, and with a little luck, maybe she'll turn out half as good lookin as yours.

Nice job Dan!

Dano · March 07, 2005, 09:04:00 AM

Thanks guy's, Linc, Clint we expect pitures. Check out this nice tree Dosbow56 spotted, there might be a bow there somewhere.

Oh Dano look at that Barber pole in the bark onm that main trunk. Tree been subjected to a lot of wind twist. Maybe a branch has straight bark. Were it me, unless you LIKED making bows from wood like you just worked I'd find another tree.

DCM · March 07, 2005, 09:09:00 AM

Yep, I've seen that tree a hundert times.

Me mad Dano? No way buddy. It's cool. What was odd was that the quote disappeared when I edited my post. I'd be surprised if they write that stuff by reference by I guess so.

Dano · March 07, 2005, 09:15:00 AM

I noticed the same thing. "Charter Members" are supposed to be respectable you know. Thank Goodness someone's lookin out for us. "[laffsmyl]"

Buemaker · March 07, 2005, 09:42:00 AM

Dano, good job and an interesting build along. Would it be possible to fasten a small turkey whistle in the hole? Bue--.

Dano · March 07, 2005, 02:48:00 PM

Thanks Bue, you know I could probably get a whistle in the hole, My bow would cherp every time I shot. :D

Opps Dano just edited your message above with my message (the one with the tree pic)..sorry got my dang moderators finger in the wrong hole

Dano · March 07, 2005, 03:20:00 PM

Mickey, I think Dosbow was just ribbin me with that picture, I would pass that tree up as well, there has to be better osage than that up there in northern Illinois. Dang you moderators get all the cool buttons. "[laffsmyl]"

Flatstick · March 07, 2005, 10:10:00 PM

Dano,,,Great build-a-long! and at just the right time, I've got a bow started now that has a large knot like that in both limbs. Actually I laid it out that way. It's made from two billets that were split one from on top of the other. Same branch growing thru each billet, I laid out the bow pattern from the center of knot on each limb. Should have a stiff spot in the same area of each limb. I hope to get started on the tillering this coming weekend. You & DCM are my inspiration on this one. Congrats again on such a challenge.

Brian Halbleib · March 07, 2005, 11:43:00 PM

Dag gone 'Big Brother' interfering with people's posts again this time in the form of a Ferret "[dntthnk]"

Brian I'm kinda low tech and these dang computers just have too many buttons on them sometimes

One wrong "enter" and you've altered, deleted, edited the wrong thing ha ha. Sometimes I stare at the screen and go "ok, what did I just do?" LOL

bad idea giving control of a high tech medium to a low tech guy :eek:
