"Catfish Hunter" Osage Selfbow: 56# @ 28"

[Dvshunter]

Love the bow and love the "Simpsons" catfish hunter reference.  Well done!

[Badly Bent]

Beautiful work, that channel cat skin looks great on the osage and the bow as a whole is really nice all around.

I have never skinned cat fish before, how heavy are those skins after you have them prepped?
Beautiful bow sir!

[Weylin]

Awesome bow, James! Looking forward to seeing more of your work. 

[Cade]

That looks great. Would you mind doing a close up of the skins? I would like to try that this summer when I get to do some fishing. Did the color change when you dried it?

[Drewster]

That's a fine looking bow indeed.  You should be happy with that one.

Thanks so much for the kind words, fellas. Here are a couple more pictures of some of the details...

George - I did know about the baseball player, although it *was* before my time. Lol
DVSHunter - Simpsons was "General Sherman", this was a Grumpier Old Men reference.
Aries - The skins are just a tad thinner than carp skins, if you've ever had experience with them. Probably almost thick enough to be a protective backing in my opinion.
Cade - The skins on the fish were a silver/gray, they darkened up just a tad when they were put on and dried.

Nice bow. Like the catfish skins

Sharp bow. I like the black outline on the sides.

I'm liking fish skins on bows. I hate to admit it in public but snake skins kinda give me the willies. I know,a wuss.
