52" osage

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.
