Let's see your Osage bows  

That's slick  

WOW, John that is an awesome bow!

Nice widow.

I really like Osage, I think mainly for tradition and the character it gets as it ages. Building myself an osage 2 pc. Smoke at the moment. Mine has an osage riser, osage belly veneers and carbon back with some Bocote overlays. I'll post some pics when I get it finished.

Here's one I built for the bow swap last year. Lacewood, Purple Heart, Osage, with white glass accents.

   

Cool bow Phoenixarcher, great job!
Osage, bowyers gold dust.

That's a great looking bow.... Skins look fantastic  

Copper heads look great with osage!

Thanks for the compliments guys. It was a lot of work, but it turned out well.

 Osage Kanati  

That's a great looking bow!!! What's your opinion of the Kanati? I've never shot one.....

Here are a few osage bows, a little rough at this stage but they have the potential to be GREAT!

Yes Sir that's the most important part  

One I made a few years back out of osage for the laminations and riser.  I added ash into the riser for contrast but wanted a bow that was as bomb proof as possible, thus Bois de 'arc wood was chosen.





It has darkened some since these pictures were taken.
