Plenty of kinks and knots to make it harder.

really enjoyed making this one with more in progress! It has about 1'' of reflex which settles to around 1/2'' of string follow after a days shooting.

thanks guys!. Was a bit nervous throwing it in front of all you wood guys! It really is satisfying working on all wood bows.I especially like chasing the ring down.This one had very thin rings toward one end so was difficult especially for my first osage bow.

I find chasing a ring on osage is easier than most other woods. The difference between the early and late wood is what makes it easier.IMO
You had a challenge working around those warts though and handled it like a pro.
Like I said...very well done!

thanks again guys.Pat agree about the rings,marked difference between early and late.Bob W , after building glass bows for years, all wood bows really are relaxing in some ways,hair pulling in another .RJones, are you expat or spent some time over here? Quite observant to pick up the barra in background.

Went there a few times when I was in the military. Visited Townesville, Tindal/Katherine, and Darwin. Got well acquainted with Tooheys and XXXX Gold.

Not sure abut Tooheys, [southern beer] but xxxx is not a bad drop.Those places are all air bases mainly but Townsville is a garrison town.Hope you enjoyed your time here. If you went Barra fishing guess you must have!
