3 new osage bows maybe
« on: June 14, 2010, 05:13:00 PM »
Just got these in the mail today. I think I got a heckuva good deal. Only paid 54 bucks for the 3 and that included shipping. I'm already seeing an almost centershot bow from the stave on the right in the first pic. Going to take alot of heat and bending but I think I can get a bow out of em. Whadda ya'll think.

Definitely bows in those staves. Check out my TradGand Bow Trade build along. I believe all that heating helps to temper the wood. Get them down to floor tiller stage and they bend lots easier.

They look very challenging! I bet you'll learn plenty with those staves.

Great looking wood. I look forward to seeing them when they are flinging cane or cedar.

I think you got the right attitude.  Heck, anybody can make a bow outa right and regular stuff.  Selfbows deserve a measure of character, and by golly you got a full measure on those staves.  Gotta heat gun?
