NA style Osage
« on: July 14, 2015, 07:18:06 am »
This is an osage bow I finished up a few months ago, it was a father's day gift to my dad.  It was heavily inspired by the bows in Allely and Hamm's Encyclopedia of Native American bows, arrows, and quivers.  It measures 54" ntn and weighs in at 39# @ 28".  It has an asymmetrical diamond nock on the upper limb, and a pin nock on the bottom limb. Cork grip under brain tanned leather (Thanks Scott, stringman) with brain tanned lacing and arrow locating groove. It had been finished with 8 coats of tung oil, and the paintings were done with enamel.
