Sapling HHB 49@27"

HH~

Building a Mullberry billet bow currently. Will cut profile out this week. Mullberry makes a light and very quick bow. Like to get it about 48@28"

Had several long staves. Had a pile of short billets 40 inches long I glue together to make a bow. A good tree this size can yeild 20 staves i would say.

The hedge harvesting osage and on the hunt.

Lucky to have some pretty good Osage that grows or was planted here many years ago. One of those staves is a very nice HHB Sapling.

Working on a Pyramid 68" billet Osage currently. Need to profile it today.

Have been working on a bunch of Osage blanks for the Tennessee Classic in May. Few Hickory's in there too. This pile of Osage is from 2019. Good looking wood and should make some very nice bows.

Was a good year in the bush. Taking selfbow in for black bear is not for the weak of heart for sure. Lots of Grizz in this area as well. The osage performed well and I came out with my skin intact.

you can pack ice around the fiberglass and get it cold then hit it with a a rubber hammer to break it lose. The video of Clay leaves some this out like using a good layer of paste wax on wood to be glassed and warming up your two part ea 40 resin to make it thinner when applying to cloth. Your part ...

Last sinew is on bow. Back has a nice crown to it. Has 7" of reflex now. Just have to wait until Oktober to tiller the bow.

In that time I will do some Osage bows and some hunting in Idaho for Elk and Bear.

Yes, to both. Gary Died last year after a short illness. He died at home in Michigan. He liked 68-69" but made them in various lengths. He use to buy a lot of osage that was short at a good price and just made billet bows put a grip on them and sold them.

Gary Davis was one of Americas very best selfbow builders. He was a friend and teacher to a lot of bow builders. I made a bow in the fashion as he did. He liked 69" Selfbows and often made them out of two billets. Well, I made a bow a couple years ago in tribute to him. As it happens Gary Davis pass...

Heres a 60/40 lever bow profile out and getting legbone sinew backed from deer we harvested here at our home. Bow is currently drying for several months til sinew is totally dry.

Just shot the Howard Hill Classic in Alabama. Was second seed after the 1st round that counts for the Championship Shootdown. Took 3rd in shootdown with the Gary Davis Special 69" Osage bow.

Was a good time down there camping in the pines. Warm days cool nites. Really fun.

HH~

my concern is if this bow works at all into the riser over time it will try and pop it off the belly. I t certainly looks to be bending aweful close to the riser block. A longer riser bloc and a little flatter are in crnter of bow would prevent this. But if its a flight bow you only need to shoot a ...

Yes that was the new one I shot and won the Challenge with.
