Title: osage and garter
Post by: rps3 on July 09, 2015, 09:55:38 pm

Made this for my granddaughter turning 10. I took her to goodwill so she could pick out a leather purse for a handle wrap before she saw the bow. Couldn't have picked a better color I say. I am grateful to my son in law for doing the handle wrap.
53" bow pulling close to 30# at 22".

Beautiful bow and great tiller. That handle and those skins and tips really make it pop, she will be in love with it I bet. :)

A fine looking young ladies bow indeed.   Boy, how nice it would have been if I'd had a bow like that when I was ten years old :-)

That looks great Bobert. Your right, that blue leather is perfect for the blue highlights in the skins.

Awesome bow all around!  I must say, I would have never thought of using garter snake skins.  It will definitely be a good training bow for a youngster!

Nice looking bow, great bend and those skins look awesome

Thank you very much. I never would have considered garter snake either, but when somebody drops one off, you use it, and it definitely came out better looking than I anticipated.

Gave her the bow yesterday...she liked it.
