Tracey just finished another Osage bow and as I was loading the pictures on the computer and seeing all of our osage creations, I realized just how much I love the looks of that wood in a bow.

Here is a Slide show of some of them I know there were more but could not find them this morning

(Click on the photo to take you to the Slide show)

 

Excellent! Prettiest wood in North America.

Ilove the way it ages those bows will only get better with age.

Nice vid. Beautiful bows!

Even prettier when it is not under glass like this selfbow by Mike Yancey.

Osage Royale 66" 52 @28... one of my favorite bows

There is something about working with the native woods that is very Gratifing. Besided it keeps all the money here in the U.S. rather than sending money overseas for the exoctics

being from Michigan I love bows made with the local woods, and dang if they aren't some of the sweetest shooting bows!!!!

I LOVE osage!! It's durable and beautiful not to mention it's long, long history of use.    

 Gotta love it.

Only one wood prettier, two Osage bows.

It was'nt called BOIS D'ARC for nothing!  

NOT Just for Bows     The blade will age to dark honey just like a bow...Doc

 

 

Ho yeah!Nice    Is it considered a hard wood ?(I gues it is but they don't grow here!!)

Love all the character in that handle Doc.

Mudd! I think that is one of my favorite bows as well!

Tippit That knife is imaculate.

I love my Hoots decked out with osage riser and veneers.

Man Do I love it great pics Dave I have a Knife somewhere with osage in it.  It is the prettiest wood here in the states for sure.

have to get a bow with it one of these days

Osage and Cocobolo, does'nt get much better.

I wish these guys in Missouri could see some of those beautiful St. Joe River bows...maybe they would quit using that wonderful wood for corner posts or burning it in fireplaces.

I guess there's enough to go around. I just can't look at an osage without seeing bows.

I have looked a a "bunch" of Osage trees and I can tell you that there isn't a bow in every one of them.(self bows only speaking)

Will say that if it'll make a good corner post there's a good chance that there are one or more bows in it.

Again,I am just talking self bows here.

I'm almost positive that if you start cutting the wood up into boards and lams there are many more.

My opinion for what it's worth.

God bless,Mudd
