Prairie rattlesnakeskin backed osage.
« on: January 15, 2011, 04:28:33 pm »
                                       Here is another osage flatbow,backed with prairie rattlesnakeskins and wenge tip overlays.After the bow was layed out it was put on a caul and 3 inches of reflex was put on it.When I was tillering the bow I noticed it had propeller twist in the limbs adding some character.After shooting it a lot it lost the reflex but hardly any set.The bow is 66 inches tip to tip,a inch and 3 eights wide down to a half a inch at the tips.The handle is a inch a a eighth wide and the same thick.The bow is 50#@ 26"
