Chasing a Knot Hole/Osage Longbow

In this video I’m chasing an Osage orange growth ring down to the entrance of knot hole. The exposing of a single ring on the back of an Osage orange bow is essential, although chasing this far down in a knot is not essential, but it sure looks good

You know, I wondered what the heck I was gonna do with all these knotty black locust staves I got a bunch and only if you were good straight, not twisted no branches, the rest was everything else but after seeing a few of your bows with the holes do the limbs I had to make a few and now that’s all people are interested in not whole bows. Awesome man I love this stuff.

I live in Comanche Texas, in Comanche county. I'm a history nut and recently retired. I have metal detected for 40 yrs and my favorite places are camps along the remnants of the military trail. Access is about gone since the ultra wealthy Californians have moved in and bought everything up.Glad I found u, I subbed.
