Title: Venom - osage bow I made for my son
Post by: Ranger B on August 10, 2010, 08:11:09 pm

This bow is 58" NTN and is 22# @ 24"   It is back with timber rattler skin.  My 11 y.o. son is really excited to have his first osage selfbow - "like my daddy" as he says.
I hope you enjoy.

Very good, I think tillering low draw weights is harder than a high weight.
Looks like it's got some extra in there for when he's a bit bigger too.

The bow is great......the son wanting to be like his dad is priceless and says more about your real skill than the bow ever will, good on you.

That's a beauty,  I like the skin job and that knot above the grip.  Looks really nice I'm sure your son is very happy with his new bow.
