Baby belly sliver osage backed with hemp cloth
« on: March 05, 2010, 07:57:25 pm »
60" ntn, 50# at 27", 1 and 1/8 inch wide at fades.  Dry heated tip flips, Wenge tip overlays and hemp cord grip.  Heated in just a little reflex, and it settled with a bit of deflex.  Lower limb was naturally deflexed somewhat.  Thin ringed brown osage.  Lower limp has a little snakey character

Dude, Cool bow! I love how you made it so narrow!  Tiller looks great as well as finish work.   :)

NICE !! I love it

Howdy Snedeker,

Well, there's not much that needs to be said about this bow - it speaks for it self; simple, fast,... Deadly. ;)

Great job!  And, thanks for sharing,
