52" osage
« on: February 20, 2014, 08:20:00 PM »
This 52" bow started as a thin belly split that I popped off the bottom of a stave from the big tree I cut in 2011.  It ended up being 45 lbs @ 24".  The limbs are 1 3/8" wide.  The backing is cotton rattler.  The tip overlays are from old persimmon golf club heads.  The string is 10 strands of FF/D97 with some extra strands in the loops.  I finished the bow with 6 coats of tung oil.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.  The backing is cotton fabric.  I got enough to do 6 bows for $7.69
