You will probably have it finished before I finish my flintlock.

Looking forward to seeing this come to life Dave !Flemish Dave wrote: ↑Fri Jul 27, 2018 12:12 pm Forgot to do a brief update. Took a bit more off the limbs, looks identical to the last update and still not getting too much bend on floor tillering. Purchased some shellac and sandpaper for finishing purposes. Need more time to work. Perhaps Tuesday.
Re: Hunting the Osage Bow build along **Handle shape**
Maybe I’ll finish someday. Was hardly getting any bend in floor tillering. Went back to draw knife and scraped off a bunch from Top limb. It bends a little now.

Aggressively went at bottom limb today. Getting bend out of both limbs now and took some sandpaper to the back of the bow to remove tool marks and lines. Once I get a little more bend then I will use some heat to deal with the propeller.

I bet you will end up with a great shooter, slow and steady wins the race.
