This was a tricky one being a lightweight. Stave had natural deflex in lower limb and major reflex off the top of the handle area. Very thin rings, had to go down quite a few to chase away violations I kept making. I used mahogany to build up the handle and walnut on the tips.
62", 25#@28". I was shooting for 30#, but chasing the tiller messed me up a little and she came in light. Nice shooter, though.

I'll post a few pics I took during the build, still getting a few coats of Tru-Oil on it.

Anyhoo, I love seeing everyone's builds on here so I hope you enjoy the pics. I'm already chasing a ring on the next gnarly one. One of these days I'll spring for the good stuff lol.

That's really nice, I like the tips. It's going to be very special once the osage darkens. Good job.

Nice work. Sounds like you started with a tough stave. Turned out a good looking bow.

Another nice bow. The braced profile is very nice as is your attention to details...like the tips and grip. Congrats.

Sweet bow, it is hard to describe to someone the satisfaction of making a bow like this. Yes, chasing the tiller can sometimes end up lighter than we planned but it is what it is. I just finished what to me is my best bow, 62", 48 1/2# @26". I egg tanned a Beaver tail for the grip and hope to get another copperhead or rattler skin to back it. Even though it is a little heavier than what I was going for, it shoots very good and I love it. Good luck on the next bow

Well done sir. I like the locator grip and shelf. Does the shelf bring it to a center shot? John

Thanks guys. Appreciate it!
John, the string tracks slightly toward the center, so I added the shelf to bring the arrow even more over to center. Shoots some 30-35# cedars dead straight.

That’s a beautiful Osage bow. One you can shoot all day at that weight. Great job!

Thanks guys! This one's for my better half, who's used to shooting a 35# selfbow I made (accidentally;). We'll see how she likes it soon when she has time to fling a few.
I have to really concentrate on follow-through with the weight or I spray em all over the bag lol. It's a snappy one for the weight though. Got a beaver tail rest and plate on, waiting on a chunk of leather for the grip if she decides she wants one. I'll post a pic or two when it's all done :)
