Title: Snakey Osage
Post by: Mad Max on February 24, 2017, 05:49:00 PM

I got this stave a MoJam last year.
I'v been work on it on and off.
35@28 68" NTN 1-1/4" wide narrow tips.

The bottom limb (left) is reflexing and deflexing out of the fade. I could not measure the tiller at the Fades. I had to wing it.

Great looking bow.  When the fades come out of the handle at different angles like that it really makes the brace look funny.  Nice job on it.

I don't know how I did it.

Clint it was a head scratcher for me

I have a stave that I don't know if it will make a bow, until I try.
