Title: Osage Takedown Bow
Post by: Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive on September 20, 2013, 09:34:29 pm
A few weeks ago I asked for a pair of Season Osage billets and PatB came to the rescue!  After a little steaming and straightening, this is what I came up with.  66"  65# @ 29"  Backed with CaneBreak Rattlers, Takedown sleeved, Tips of Ipe over Osage.  I also made a nice leather bag to hold the bow when taken apart.  Thanks for the trade Pat!

Thats a really nice bow! Braced, unstrung, shape, skins, finish and tiller all look flawless and the bag is equally as nice.
Well done Twisted.

I always enjoy looking at the bows that you post!   Great finishing work, and your leather working is awesome.  I have never done a takedown bow.  I would like to see a picture of it taken down.  Canebreak skin really sets it off.

4dog most snakes can differ a lot in apperance between locations,both color and pattern can vary in populations  just a few miles apart.
