Dean Torges
has put together much more than a how-to book on building a hunting
bow from Osage orange. With captivating prose, he skillfully brings
to life the very essence of making a wooden bow. Not only does this
book speak to the archer's heart, moving him to stand with rasp in
hand, but it also provides the technical information necessary to
build an osage hunting bow. Dean, a skilled crafstman, takes
us from tree, to stave, to chrysalis, to finished bow, providing
great insight and prudent reasoning along each step of the way. Jan
Adkins' illustrations provide the perfect supplement to Dean's
words. This a great book for the begining or seasoned bowyer.
I find myself thumbing through this book all the
time.
