Finally getting around to it!

This bow is one of my oldest bows. It's a rawhide backed Osage bow. I started this bow 3 years ago. It was my first character Osage bow. I popped a small splinter during tillering and with the help of several of you guy's it was saved and has become one of my favorite shooters. And that's what I have done, just shoot the heck out of it. I have packed it to every event I've been to. I've even taken it hunting some. It's hard to get a drop on a deer when you're flagging a big white tail at them.

The stave was an old fence post and a gift from a guy at work. The whitetail rawhide was a gift from PatB. The black snake skin was a gift from Osage outlaw. Thanks a bunch guy's!

Here is a link from quite some time ago when I was working on it. And a picture of the skins I put on tonight. I'll post more pics in the next few days as I get it finished FINALLY!

I had a round toit once but lost it somewhere. 
 Looking good so far, Patrick.

Sometimes a rebuild can become your best and favorite bow.

Thanks guy's,  the hope is to have her done by Marshall.

Pearl and Pat, I owe both of you a big thanks with this bow. You guys probably don't remember all the help you gave me with this bow but I do. Thanks again fellas!

I got the skins cleaned up this evening. It's starting to look pretty good. Going to let them dry for another day. It's raining and really damp. A few spots on the edge was still a little soft.

Nice makeup job on that one Pat.

Nice work.  I hope you get it done in time for Marshall.  If not, bring it anyway so we can see it.

Thanks John, I'm practicing for the big show!
I will have it with me Clint, done or not. Like I said, it's pretty much my favorite shooter.
