Beautiful bows!! I've drooled over osage selfbows, and all the rest of them, for years. I guess I'm going to have to get off my butt one of these days and learn to make them.
Thanks for the pics everybody and please keep them coming.

I would give my left *** for a osage or yew bow. I know where a few Osage trees grow but not sure what to look for when selecting piece to cut.

straight and clear of branches knots and pins for 72" if you can. you can make a good bow with anything without knots and branches for 36", but things just get complicated. 72" looking like a fencepost or telephone pole with thick growth rings makes good bows easy

and bring two chain saws and a truck with a logging chain or a winch, a 4wd loader tractor is even better
