black widow bow.
« on: October 26, 2013, 05:57:23 pm »
Did Black Widow ever make any sinew back osage bows? I was checkin a pawn shop for air tools and saw a deep red osage bow in the corner with some character to it. I looked at it and the woodwork was done well. Nice craftsmanship. But the sinew was in bad shape, the string was almost longer than the bow, the name black widow was on it, but no draw length or poundage. The tips had a flat overlay of some red wood, and the handle had zebra wood shingles on each side. I bent it across my chest to check its tiller. The right mid limb seemed almost hingy, and the inner 3rd didnt bend at all. Toping this story off, they wanted 399.99 for it and not a penny more.
Tread softly and carry a bent stick.
