Osage pure straight stick 57#/26” (No 83)

Only little heat gun correction for balancing out, no heat treatment. All the colors are from the fuming process (five days) and the tiller scraping after fuming. An additional ring on the back works as natural nock overlay (cutting through the back!). Arrow mark is a little brass nail filed flat, no more stuff on the bow except some oil. Circular tiller with semi stiff tips, reflex is natural. Slightly narrowed handle. Very springy shooter!

Hi Simon, I like the simplicity of this bow a lot! Was the bow hard to tiller with the natural recurve and what looks like a bit of a kink in the wood 4″ below the handle on the lower limb? Did you manage to chrony it?

Thanks Philipp,
yes it is a bit more difficult to tiller such a bow, you have to work very slow and careful.
