Title: unfinished one
Post by: LEGIONNAIRE on February 21, 2011, 12:20:38 am

Heres an osage sinew backed plains double curve bow that still need some finishing work. I did the video to show the performance. the bow feels 60-65 at 21 3/4 inches draw and seems to shoot pretty fast. heres the video, hope you guys like it.

Thanks for the kind words Guys.
@ fish thanks.. I will send you a PM this week, just got some turkey feathers ill let you know :)
@Eric- I do dry heat for sinew backed bows usually, this one was dry heat aswell.
@ Ron- Thankyou Ron will do with the pictures, im almost done but it will take a while, I have to put like 7-10 layers of spar varnish, it will be used in a very wet climate. in fact ima go get some horse hair right now :) hopefully the horse wont get angry jajaja.
