Osage I am proud of
« on: June 08, 2011, 07:57:55 pm »
Its my 6th bow, and best one yet.  ONly took me 8months.  66" NTN, 56lbs@28", rawhide backed, whitetail deer antler tips, timber rattler skins, baseball stitched braintanned deer hide handle, leather arrow rest.

I have been saving these antlers for years,  thought I would like it, but with the timber rattlers, not much contrast.  But its ok.

First bow I ever used dean T faceted method, and I am hear to say, it made tillering much easier.

Very nice work and well worth every minute of patience you used up!

I love the tips, the skin, the over all shape, poundage, everything. Great job. I'd be hunting with that bow! Sixth bow huh? Well I'm on number 3. Maybe I'll get there too.

Well I guess you can stop building now and rest on your laurels!!!   ;D

I hope she shoots as pretty as she looks, man, that is a fine looking piece of effort.  Your patience paid off in spades!
