Managed to get my hands on a premium osage orange stave. I will be detailing the bow making process with this stave. Showing all the stages of constructing an American flatbow. I will be detailing the bow with paua inlay, beaver tail handle and horn tip overlays.
Finished off another bow for a client, this time a 68" 53lb @ 26" black locust longbow. Runic carvings we're engraved into the belly per the clients request, the bow was also heat treated and burnished.
