Don Jochem's All Osage Crocodile
I know we already have a Crocodile on the page, but Don did something a bit different... an all osage Crocodile... and it is spectacular. I was a bit surprised how much so, as I usually go for a contrasting riser....
Hello Dick,
Here is a selection of pics of the Crocodile in an all Osage Orange exhibition.
68" 52#28". Craig loved it right away and had a marvelous time building
it. This was the first time he created a longbow this way. I figure how a
Redman would look in an all Yew exhibition. I am shooting 55 - 60 lb, but
I ordered this one in a draw of 52 lb.
I am 59 years young now. I retire in three years and I really like to shoot
this bow still, when I am at the age of 70, so I took a lighter draw. It is
a real powerhouse and feels like a feather in my hand. Will you be so kind
to put these pics on the bow showcase, where my other bows also found a good
place. Some pics are taken in close up to show what kind a macho this bow
is. You can feel the strenght of the Osage in some pics. I really would appreciate
when you can find time to work this out. If you like some comments by the
pics, I will mail you the pics again, not in a map in that case and I will
give comment.
Don
