"Bi-Polar" an osage bow
« on: May 31, 2009, 02:15:00 PM »
It seems like I have had quite a few staves that take this road. One limb is as straight as an arrow, the other crooked as a dog leg. That's what comes of following the grain, I just thought this bow oughta be named to match. It's 66" tip to tip, 55# at 28". 1 1/4" wide to 3/8" tips.

Here's the upper limb
 
The lower
 
unbraced
 
Braced
 
Full draw, well 26" anyway   :rolleyes:

Nice bow, I prefer the look of the snaky bows to straight ones.

Fantastic tiller! It certainly is confused about whether to be character bow or a straight bow. I guess that's just it's character.  ;)

Another nice bow Dano. That is a fine job of tillering that you did.   :notworthy:  Those 1/2 straight staves can sure be a challenge.  :eek:  

You going to bring that out to MOJAM this year? Looking forward to seein' you and some of these bows that you have showing us here...

Great bow, Dano. As Kennym said.. Amazing what you selfbow guys can do. I have no patience for selfbows. Not at all..
