Title: Finished One Up For The Gabester
Post by: wooddamon1 on December 30, 2024, 10:05:44 am

My son Gabe wanted a cool bow with some snakeskins since his old selfbow and recurve are getting a little light for his giant muscles.  ;)

Osage selfbow backed with a split copperhead skins, water buffalo tip overlays and leather grip with copperhead strike plate. Slight filed-in shelf with a shaped piece of Osage for the rest.


51" ntn, 20#@20" (tillered to 22", he draws around 17-18")


Got a few pics for now, plan on a little shooting and better pics later today.
