« on: December 16, 2012, 06:22:54 pm »
I just recently was finishing this one up and took it to the family Christmas over the weekend. I'm glad I took pics cuz it didn't make it home.

Osage selfbow with anaconda skin. Cow horn and osage tips. 8 strand ultra cam string. Deer hide grip and arrow plate/shelf. 61 ntn and 48@28.

That's one gorgeous bow, mister.

Beautifully crafted bow there, man do I like that one! The profile and tiller make it look like a sweet shooter too.

Sweeping curves on that one! Beautiful job, Dave! I sure hope the recipient was on the nice list!! ;)

Very nice bow and great tiller Dave! But wheres the sapwood? ;) I notice a lot of your bows have an r/d shape to them, just wandering if u heat the deflex in or is it natural set in the inner limbs? I only ask because I was thinkin of making myself a new heating caul and was contemplating putting some deflex in the inner limbs.
