My first osage t/d fish skin backed bow
« on: December 20, 2011, 04:01:46 am »
Hello guys.
This is my first successfully finished bow from the fifth attempt.
It's 58" ntn, 30#@27", snakehead fish skin backed and handmade sleeves from steel tube. Tiller does not perfect, but i am huppy with this bow.  So far I have not had to bow and I never shot it, but now I am happy that I found this very interesting lesson. In my country shooting from traditional bow is not familiar, so I'm learn bowmaking from PA and Russian bowmaking sites. Thanks for looking and sorry for my english.

Wow, a take down for your first successful bow.  Well done.  I like the fish skin backing and the tiller looks good.  Welcome to PA.

That is incredible for your first bow. Well done! You have tackled many things that sometimes take years for bowyers to attempt. Take down, fish skins and a 58" shorty that is hitting 27" draw. Thats impressive. Congratulations

That looks very good to me.  Good job.  What kind of wood did you use?  Edit: ignore that, I didn't read the subject line well enough...sorry.
