Title: 48" sinew osage with sinew string
Post by: paulsemp on July 24, 2017, 06:46:47 pm
This one's pretty plain Jane. 48 inch tip to tip Osage with sinew back with Rawhide covering. Rawhide grip and sinew string. Little bit of brown leather dye to add some color. I made the Rawhide myself from a buddies deer and the tendons were given to me by Pearl Drums. Thanks buddy. It's a solid 40 lb at 23/24 inches.  Aaron gave me some gray Dogwood shafts and I'm planning on making it some proper arrows and Elm Hall. the arrow in the pictures is a genuine Sticks and Stones AKA Mike primitive shoot Arrow. Thanks for looking

Sweet. I've got a short osage stave that you just helped me decide what to do with it. Can't wait to see the arrows.

There's a lot to like about this one but if I had to pick what I like best it's the profiles. Unbraced, braced, and FD are all spot on perfect.  (-S

Man, there must be something in the air... some great bows from some of PAs best builders coming out.  :)

Nothing plain about this little beauty. Way to utilize all natural materials . Great tiller, full draw profile, and love the character in the one limb. Everything about it is awesome.

I spent about 20 hours at Elm Hall and Paul let me shoot this bow. I really like it very nice shooting bow and fit me great. Nice work Paul and thanks for letting me shoot your bows. This one was my favorite. It was great to see you guys again, wish I could have stayed longer.

If I ever get the mail-order time machine plans I sent off for in grade school and get my time machine built, ...then this is just the bow I should take back with me in time!  It or one nearly the same as it has been the common man's projectile weapon of choice for millennia upon millennia past.  This modern infatuation with gunpowder assisted projectile weapons is but a minor blip in time comparatively!  This little bow has realness and soul in every fiber.  Love it lots, ...especially the full draw pic!
