Dang Simson, what a piece of art, those nocks are beautiful, well the whole thing is but I really like the paint/shape/horsehair of the nocks

PRIMITIVE ARCHERY what other way can you play with sticks and rocks all day and not look like a little kid

Awesome pretty bow. Nice job and cool with no sinew. Osage do not need sinew. :-)

Really impressive!

What kind of paint is on the back?

Patrick

In this case: artists ink
Lucky Lady ;D

Nicely done Simon, killer bow.



Thanks Greg, yeah I hope she likes it ...

Nice antiquing on the paint job.  It reminds me how they try to replicate a time-worn finish on fine instruments.  Really makes it look like it's been around forever.

Little sanding with steel whool over the ridges and you get the 'used look'

Thanks Chris, started with 6 now holds 4,5 - lost 1,5 think that's ok

Just got a message from the new owner Jutta D.
She was successful with her bow and won the first place at the 'Indian week' in Germany.
Congrats from here, Jutta!!!

But, she was busy also and made a new quiver for her bow. She honestly allowed to post here.

I think I even like this one more than the first!
well said.
