66" NTN Osage with Rosewood tips

#1 Post by Jamesh76 »

Started this one today. 66" ntn, 1.25 wide to mid limb, .50 tips. 4" handle, 4" fades- 2" each. A bit snakey, not bad at all. Has alot of bumps on back. Not sure goal weight yet. Kinda thinking 50#. Not sure though if I can string it to tiller at that weight. We will see. I heat and steamed this piece several times to get the handle and tips to line up. Hope to finish tiller tomorrow. Long string 40@18. Enjoy.

47@28. 1 stiff spot right side 10" in from tip I scraped forever, back is really bumpy there may just leave it. I'll finish tomorrow and shoot in when I can and revisit tiller. Was going to flip tips but it only took .25 set I think I'll just leave it as is.
