« on: March 12, 2023, 08:31:14 pm »
66" NTN Osage 48@28. Stave from my buddy Clint. Thanks Clint! Rawhide backed with a variety of stains on it. Just keeped messing with it until I gave up. Couldn't tell you how to replicate If I had to. Handle built up and tips are purple leaf plum. Thanks for looking

Looks great Paul.

I like the stain job. It’s a good look

Very nice lookin bow.  I know how that feels.  Sometimes you just got to call it done.  The bend looks really good on this bow.  Nicely done.
Sticks and stones and other poky stabby things.

Another beauty. Smells like a hunting bow.
