Osage Character Bow with Timber Rattler Skins 48#@29"
« on: March 29, 2023, 04:20:55 pm »
This stave was begging for an offset handle. I laid out the bow so the arrow would have a near center shot. The bow is 68" long and pulls 48#@29". It's backed with deer rawhide and then timber rattler skins. The tip overlays are deer antler as well as the arrow rest.

Amazing, as usual for any bow you make. Nothing cooler than a snaky Osage with snakeskin.

Very nice work. I bet it was fun to keep on the tiller tree. How does it feel in the hand. Does it try to twist at all in the hand on release.  I am working on a very similar mulberry stave right now.  Love to see your work. Very inspirational!

Nice work, Weylin.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.
