Plain Jane: a hunting bow
«

A good friend of mine asked me to build him a bow he could take to the woods and not worry about dropping it out of the stand, hence the name "plain Jane". Did I mention the guy has the draw length of one of them apeman types 30" ?? He wanted a bow long enough so's he feels comfortable drawing it. We have a 68" 56#@30", I couldn't help myself tho I had to add some cocobolo tip overlays just to satisfy myself. At my short draw length the limbs ain't working too hard. Pay no attention to the fat old man in the picture :D

Nice bow Dano, and I agree with Ionian, there is nothing plain there, just a beautiful piece of osage made to what osage does best......

PLAIN? That is a great lookin selfbow you got there. I've done quite a bit of huntin in the Vandalia area and I dont think the deer over there care what your bow looks like so your buddy should be good to go.(LOL)

Plain Jane? More like a beautiful woman, er, beautiful piece of woodworking. The cocobolo looks like it grew from the osage - that's some mighty fine joinery.
