Question about Osage
« on: November 30, 2010, 08:25:00 PM »
I have a small Osage log that was given to me last year. My questions are as follows. The log is 60" long total. The diameter is approximately seven inches. I was wondering if i could get a 45# draw weight bow from it. I also would like to know what style bow would be best considering size of material. I have pics on my pc but cant seem to add them to my post.    :confused:   I know the pics would help so if anyone can help me with that also, I would be grateful.
Thanks
Sam

That stave is 3 1/2" across the back. The log was about seven inches in diameter before I started splitting it into stave's.
