Latest Osage bow and a preview of my next project....

Here's my lastest bendy handle osage bow.  It's 60" ntn, 1 3/8" wide at the handle, and 3/8" wide at the nocks.  It pulls about 65# @ 28".  I used medium brown leather dye to stain it.  Strangely enough, medium brown dye plus yellow osage equals reddish-orange.  The last pic is a preview of my next project.  It's another California bow.  It will be made in the style of the Maidu/Achumawi bows shown in TTBB1.

I like the color contrast pretty slick. The tiller looks to be right on. Great Job.

Really a nice looking primitive style bow. Good job on the tiller!
