December's Hunting Bow
« on: November 17, 2013, 09:44:00 PM »
Finished this one a few weeks back.  It was my second attempt with osage.  I made it for my cousin who hooked me up with his father in-law to get a batch of osage.  Thought it was the least I could do for 2 nice logs of osage!  I told him he can't have it until I break it in and hunt with it this December.  Thought I would share a few pictures.  Any input on tiller would be appreciated - I am still new to this game! (I think this is bow number 16)  Thanks for looking.


 63" ntn,  50# @ 28" - 1 1/4" wide out to mid-limb then tapered to 1/2" at tip.  Used some whitetail antler for tip overlays and wrapped handle with some black cord/massey finish.  It has about 1" of natural reflex which it retained after tillering.  Finished it with several coats of wipe on poly.
