Osage Flatbow Feather Backed "Upland" (progressive FD pg 2)
« on: September 14, 2018, 06:42:41 pm »
Had some Quail, Phesant and Turkey feathers so I just had to back a bow with them.  Here are the bows specs.

65" ntn
50# @ 28"
2" reflex
1 1/2" wide @ fades
1/4" wide @ tips
4" handle
1 1/2" fades
About 250 shots at this point.
Starting at the tips are quail feathers followed by Phesant feathers and ending up with Turkey at the fades.
My favorite is still the turkey,  they are so aredesent in the sunlight.
Thanks for looking,
DBar

The tiller and the feathers are beautiful.  What did you seal the feathers with?

Pictures don't do this bow justice.  It's a work of art.  Bills feather work is amazing.  It sure drew some attention at the shoot today.

The profiles and tiller are dead on, but that backing is sure something else. Nice work
