"The Odd Couple" HBY 60" / BBO 60" Happy New Year!
« on: January 02, 2011, 02:34:15 am »
The hickory backed yew is 42# @ 28", 60"ntn with Longnose skins (thanks again Nate). The bamboo backed osage is 59# @ 28", 60"ntn with Diamondback skins.
I wasn't going to do anything with the hby because of the light poundage but everyone liked shooting it so I figured I'd make it pretty.
The bbo is for my elk hunting buddy Steve, down in Texas. He's up here for the holidays and we've been making arrows for it this last week(just need to wrap the fletches now).

Yessir, I don't think I've seen a finer pair of bows in along time! :o
Matter of fact, I have a bbo in the hotbox right now with a VERY similar profile to your BBO. (Gotta unwrap it today and get a grip glued on).

Excellent craftmanship right there. We can all learn alot from this I think.

Not a snake backing guy but that hickory backed yew is a beautiful bow.  Nice work on both.

Absolute dazzlers man.

Questions:

Who did your knapping?

Do you put the tip overlays over the skins?

Thankyou everyone for the nice comments.  Scott

Cesar, I either trim the skins with a razor after they set up a bit or if they're dry, a file and then sand them  in.

Pete, Saw Filer did the points and the overlays aren't on the skins.
