I recently got this hickory board bow completed while my pile of osage is drying out. This one is a 65” hickory with very mild reflexed tips, pulling 30# @ 27”. It has a red oak handle and red oak tip overlays as accents. The handle is wrapped with buckskin leather while the string is D97 and has beaver fur silencers. It’s going to a friend who got me into hunting, which lead into getting back into archery, which then lead into wanting to learn how to build bows. They’ve never shot traditional bows before so it’s made light at 30# on purpose. Here’s to hoping it lasts thousands of fun shots for them!

If anyone sees any flaws or things that can be improved on with the tiller or anything in general, please shoot your advice on over.

It’s a 63” Osage with antler overlay tips and a brain tanned buckskin leather handle. It’s pulling #47 @ 26” right now and is a sweet shooter. This one gave me a number of challenges with its snakeyness and the big knot on the bottom limb. The tiller isn’t perfect and it took more set than I would have liked but overall I am happy with it for my first stave bow and character one at that.

Thanks u/tree-daddy for the photo inspos.
