Title: Dragon bow
Post by: warpath on November 07, 2012, 11:26:10 pm
This is a plains length shorty I made a few weeks ago in the Fantasy style. It's made of endgrain from an osage board about 1/4" thick and 2" wide. Tapers down to 1/2" at the tips and backed with hickory and alligator scoots for that raised look. The handle riser is purpleheart and antler tip overlays. This bow pulls 32# @ 20" and comes with 6 arrows made specifically for this bow in 5/16" with 125gr target tips. I'm looking for a 35-40# character selfbow done in osage, but not limited to that species. If anyone os interested in a trade, please pm me and maybe we can work something out.

Wicked bow, very cool! ... By the way, I've been admiring your etsy store for a while now, you make some very nice arrows too. ;D

toomanyknots- Thank you. Got any bows you want to trade? Looking for something for the Mrs. around 35-40#. Trying to find a character selfbow for her. Don't have the time to make one since I have orders to fill that will keep me busy until just after the holidays.
