I just can't do it....................
I've made the steel sleeves, cut them down, but............. I just can't bring myself to cut the 60" osage stave in half. Just can't do it.... nope....not gonna happen.
Not osage. The project is getting postponed..........I've got some hickory coming, have a nice elm log split downstairs........the takedown is going to have to wait.
Now, what to do with the osage stave. It's 60" and floor tillered. Don't really need another 60" flatbow.
Can you say PONY BOW?
That's right, gonna get cut down to 48" and recurve the limb tips. Then 6 or 7 layers of siwew, then a full bow sinew wrap and I'll be done.
Just extende the building time of this bow from, oh, one week to about 6 months. Ahhhh.....it's just time.
