Christmas Bow- 60'' Osage- Few more Pics (Not for BOM)
« on: December 22, 2011, 04:28:46 pm »
Here's a few pictures of my latest bow. I started this one before Thanksgiving so I am just now putting the finishing touches on it.

Sorry, no full draw just yet but soon as I can GET somebody to hold a camera I will post some more.

The bow is 60 inches ntn, pulls 60lbs. at 28.

I know exactly what it will look like at full draw just from looking at that braced photo, but that doesn't leave you off the hook! Still can't wait to see the bow drawn  ;)

What are the tip overlays from?

Thanks guys. The weather should clear up enough to get more pictures tomorrow.

Matt, those overlays are black horn. I bought a few pieces for knife handles 20 years ago. I was able to keep up them somehow through the years. I have like one little chunk left.   :'(

Great looking bow Gmc... Really like those skins. Does it bend at all in the handle?

Thanks for the compliment. Yes, but it takes awhile. The bow is a little under and 1-inch wide in the handle with 3/4's thick behind.  I used about a 1/4 inch worth of leather to build up the area behind the handle. The bow looks a lot bigger in the pictures than it really is.

Thanks, Keenan. The recipient of this bow is already pleased. :)

Thanks Eric!
