Started another Osage Bow today
« on: September 19, 2015, 10:32:00 PM »
Give me two years and I'll have it finished up..     :)  

These were just cut yesterday in Ohio... I'll be using the one in the back ground first..

So stay tuned for monthly updates, LOL...

Well at least you're building. I thought you'd just given up, lol.

Glad to see you back in the selfbow game a bit too.

It better be worth the wait...   :D

Looks like some fun times ahead, the one in the foreground looks especially challenging.

Don't ever just assume Roy is gonna turn a nice Osage log into selfbow staves. I've seen him slice 'n dice nicer pieces than that.

Just as long as you aren't using "fake wood"! Lol

I guess I'll have to keep an eye on this one. I might learn something from the old man. I've got an Osage stave in the corner that keeps staring at me everytime I walk by. Need to do something with it sooner or later!

Roy would you mind sharing your lam thicknesses again.  You told me a while back that you decreased them from some of your earlier builds.  I'm determined to complete a trilam.

Osage belly 1/4" parallel. Core lams 1/4" tapered to 1/8" at tips, start the taper at the end of the riser. Taper the bottom limb core lam 1/32" thinner than the top limb core lam. So taper it to 3/32".
