Character Osage Question :-{)

[Dano]

Yeah, come on Shaun, there's nothin to be afraid of  :D  I've got one more Honeydo, and I'll get this puppy shootin.

Thanks Dave, tell Deb that's a great idea, KNOT!!!  

[Dano]

Man, this is slow goin, I've got it tillered to 22" and I think I the outer 1/3 of each limb is still a little stiff. To me they look pretty even, so I may just scrap a little more and call it good. What do ya'all think?
This will be the top limb now.  :eek:  




You can see the troblesome limb has taken on a little set, oh well.

['46]

Lookin good Dano. think you could take off whats needed on that outer 1/3 in the final sanding    

[clintopher]

Lookin good to me Dano.  Did you bend the tips or are they naturally like that?

Clint

[Hartung]

Dano, great post, great bow, great work! Will help me with my projects.

[Dano]

Thanks Guy's, George I think your right.

Clint, I had to match the ugly end.  :D

[tom sawyer]

A little movement outside the knot, and the other side in the outer third.  Lookin' good.  I admit, I keep coming to this thread to see if you've blown her up yet.  This has been an exciting buildalong.

[Dano]

Thanks Lennie, I plan on working the limbs a little more tomorrow, it could still blow up stay tuned  :rolleyes:    

[Linc]

Dano ole buddy,if'n you're scared to draw it then send it to me.I ain't right in the head anyway.I've had lots of bows blow in my hands and haven't gotten hurt yet.Only one has been a selfbow,all the rest were compounds.LOL.Guess that goes to show which is a superior bow design.  

[Dano]

Buddy, we know which is the superior bow don't we. This bow don't scare me anymore  :cool:    :rolleyes:

[Linc]

 

Now if I can find more time to work on my stave,I'll be a lot happier.

[Luke Vander Vennen]

I got a good feeling about this bow

she's gonna make it!!

[Dano]

OK ya'all this ain't the snappiest bow I've made, but it's kinda cool to get it to this point. Here it's drawn to 26"

Same draw length reversed

unbraced


Now a little more shootin, and some Thunderbird.

[the Ferret]

Good job Dano. That was a difficult piece of wood. Make a straight piece knot free piece of wood seem like childs play doesn't it?

     

[Dano]

Thank ya Mickey, Yeah kids stuff. This has been a real lesson, and kinda fun.

[Jason Lester]

Sweet... See not an ugly peice of wood. LOL Just Challenging. \\\\

Good Job. I like it.

[tom sawyer]

You done good gettin her bending.  Looks like two different bows in the two pics, that whoopdedoo really changes the look of the bend.  Great job, even if it was kinda boring compared to a good explosion.

[Dano]

Lennie, I know it was kinda nice of Mickey to show us how it could have gone. But you know before I get any bragging rights this bow has to last longer than his did.  :D

[Linc]

Ya did good buddy.    I knew you could do it.  

[Dano]

Thanks for your faith Linc. Now what the heck have you been up to?
