Osage vintage hunter, 66#/28″ (No. 62)

After ring chasing I put the stave in the fuming pipe for one day and got a nice caramel color. The further working brought the yeller color on sides and belly. This way the finished bow turned out in a two tone appearance. A pleasure in my eyes and I will do that again for sure.
The bow is only 57”, but allows a full draw of 28”. Side profile is a kinda gull wing shape with long fades. Max width of limbs is 1½”. Reflex is only 1½”.
This bow is one of my top 10, speed is in average 185 fps with 10gpp.
Overlays and arrow plate is bone, handle is goat leather.
