Osage bow
« on: March 02, 2010, 11:23:41 am »
Just finished this osage bow.  59# nock to nock.  60# @ 27".  Bull snake backing, ipe tips.  This is the best shooting bow that I've made so far.  It's my first bow out of osage, and now I see what all the fuss is about.  It's great stuff. 

Thanks,
Murphy

Very nice bow with good tiller. Those skins really compliment the osage. I guess the bright color of the osage highlighted the colors in the skin.  8)

Very nice, I like that bow a lot. Tiller looks great to me too.  I love osage.   From a distance, that bull snake almost has a diamond pattern.  Looks really nice on the bow.
