Osage Selfbow With Rat Snake
« on: January 18, 2015, 02:11:35 pm »
I just finished this bow up for my best friends uncle. I've got two more to finish and then I can make myself a bow or two finally!  This one is another off of my reflex dealer for and is 62in. Long which for me is a longer bow but it needed to go out to 30 inches so I added some room for error. I fought with the alignment for a long time but I won in the end and it all came together.
62 ntn
52@30
Osage with rat snake skin
Cocobola and counter top tips.

Thanks for looking!

Real sharp looking weapon Dave, great looking curves and finish work. Bet it smokes an arrow at that 30" draw too.

Nice, Dave.  Really nice.
