Had a great time cutting osage with Jim Jones today... We found the gold mine of Osage..which is rare in these parts........ Jim says we cut just enough to build a few..lol......These logs will be riser blocks in no time...      Now we're heading out to hunt to top the load with a whitetail....     :D                      


 

Looks like a load I cut the other day. Still got more to get

Nice Steve!!  That should keep Jim stocked for at least a little while!!  

WOW!!  I could make  LOTS  of Little Pieces out of  ALL  those Big Ones!!     arent quite to that Standard Yet!! LOL A Mans Got To Know His Limits!!      

   :eek:      Wowsers! Lots of Osage there for sure! How long before you can start using it Jim? Good Luck putting down some whitetails Folks!

I guess I should start building bows there is osage all over my familys land small trees,medium trees, and huge trees.Its not rare around here by any means!

Thanks for calling ME, JIM & STEVE!
 Just kidding, I will try for a pic of my stash to show. Well done and good luck tonight

Good load - now the fun part of splitting!
Steel - if you need some help with osage let me know, I'm in Stillwater.

Anyone know what bow Jim is holding on the webpage at braveheart? It has red accents by the limb bolts.

Dave..not 100% about your question...looks like one of his standard fireflys...are you asking what woods?

Love Osage ! I had a Firefly once and let it slip through my fingers in a moment of haste,biggest mistake I ever made .I can imagine some of the Orange Beautys coming out of Jimmys shop in the near future.Maybe with some trimming of Madagascar Ebony and Red Phonelic,enough to make a fat canadian cry!

Heres my route 66 firefly low wrist model...ive nicked  named her black beauty......no osage in her, but shes a shooter.....

Yes, what wood and what bow. Looked at the website and there was recurves and longbows, td and one piece.

Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave    

Jim offers 2 models of 3 pc longbows.... His original has the recurve style grip and the other is his low wrist version (which he calls the ROUTE 66)

The bow i posted above is the route 66 model...The fireflys are great bows...Jim does not make a 1 pc or a recurve at this time..

I'm guessing... but i think the wood in that bow is bacote with bloodwood overlays... i could be wrong..hopefully Jim will chime in when he sees this post....

There's a Trad Ganger that owns that bow but I can't remember who it is...Drew maybe?

I have one just like the one Jim is holding but I don't think it is the exact same one, mine is newer and has different grain on the limb overlays.  

Here is a thread of mine, I posted pics of it recently.  I has the bloodwood accents on the limbs.

:eek:   Boy that's a lot of Osage!  Can't wait to see what Jim cooks up with those - it's getting time to order a new FireFly...

:D

I have not seen an osage FF yet. Would love to have an all osage FF.
