Osage Orange Stickbow Self Bow Build Along Part Two Tillering And Here's a guide for building one of my favorite self bow designs, the hollow limb bow. it all starts with a narrow diameter, high crowned stave, which normall. Osage is one of the few woods which is strong in both tension, the stretching of wood cells on the outside bend of the bow, and compression, the squeezing together of wood cells on the inside bend of the bow. it is also known as hard, thorny, gnarly, crooked wood. “crooked doesn’t bother me,” gary explained. Below is part 1 of a 3 part series detailing how to build an osage selfbow from scratch. part 1 covers backing to one growth ring, as well as the different types of wood found in an osage stave. parts 2 & 3, covering layout, rought out, and tillering, will be up shortly. just watched the video and looking forward to part 2 and 3. Place the t stick upright in a vise so you have both hands free. place the bow on the stick and pull the string down until the bow is slightly bent. then hook the string into a notch on the t stick. now use a 5 or 6 inch long straight edge, moved along the belly of the limb, to study the bend.

It is best to use a bow design template to trace the outline of your bow onto the osage orange wood stave. i prefer a pencil, but you can also use a marker to trace the outline. however, you must ensure the template is centered and aligned with the wood grain. while drawing and shaping your bow, you must use a draw knife or a roughing knife to. This elasticity contributes to the bow’s efficiency, transferring energy stored in the limbs to the arrow with minimal loss. osage orange is also resistant to rot and insect damage. this natural durability ensures that a well crafted self bow can last for generations with proper care. moreover, the wood itself is visually striking.
