Big Osage Self Bow
« on: April 03, 2010, 10:02:00 PM »
72" long, 2" wide at the fades, tapering to just under 1/2' at the tips! 56# @ 28" osage selfbow in a flat design with stained camo back.

In the caul
   

The profile a few days later
   

Shaped and tillered
   

Home brew camo stained
   

   

I still need to get a rest and handle wrap on it. I'll get some more pics posted then.
