Osage and Timber Rattlers Sneak Peek
« on: October 07, 2011, 09:12:06 pm »
I am building this bow for my boss who also lets me hunt his land.  I left an inch of set and the weird curvy thing in the tip because he said he wanted a snake-y character bow.  I really like the way it is turning out and had to post a few early pics of the process.  Thanks for looking!

Oh and while I was shooting his in I was also practicing with my Osage bow I built last year as this is the one I will be hunting with again this year.  I took a pic of them side by side to compare the difference in color between the two.. I remember last year when my Osage bow was that same electric yellow color.  It has darkened dramatically in a year.

Awesome!

looking really nice Josh, I think he will be impressed with how the skins came out.
