Newest Osage Selfbow
« on: September 20, 2024, 06:53:32 PM »
Latest bow off the bench. 65" NTN Osage selfbow, 42#@28"
Water buffalo tip overlays and arrow shelf, deer leather grip and beaver tail rest and side plate. Shoots great. Fun one to tiller with all the bumps and wiggles  :saywhat:

I love a character osage bow and you did this one proud. Your brace height looks a little high but if it shoots well for you  so what. Well done.   :thumbsup:

Pat, thanks,  it's braced at just under 7", that's where I got it the quietest and it doesn't slap me wth the B55 string  :archer2:

Good looking tiller, that bulge just out of the bottom fade would have given me trouble, always make me think its trying to hinge. Looks like you nailed it though. Great job!

Thanks, Darin! If I took better pics you'd be able to see the entire top limb is a roller coaster. It took some concentration to tiller this one, I appreciate the kind words! I'm ready for a nice, clean stave now   :biglaugh:

Looks great! I bet she’s smooth and quick with that profile and tiller. I like how all the colors of the wood, tips, and handle wrap work together.

Thanks, Kyle! I really like how this one turned out, too. It's a little lighter than I normally shoot, but it seems to sling 'em quick and I'm pretty accurate with it.
