Plains style Osage bow
« on: April 13, 2012, 01:04:08 pm »
It's no "replica" but it's of the plains style. I'm kinda outa my element doing this kinda bow, but I had a piece of wood that lent itself well to being a short bendy handle bow. I normally dont like colors on any of my bows..but this was an exception.  so like I said, certainly "out of the box" for my standard bow making.
    its 48" long and 40# @ 23" draw  unbacked.  has some decorative sinew wraps, some pigments and some higher detailed pictographs I painted on.  All in all, I'm pretty happy with it and may do some more... but I like my old style the best still!  thanks for looking-  Ryan

Looks pretty darn good for being 'out side your box'!!

Gorgeous artwork and detail on that one!  Wouldn't look out of place at all in the hands of a Native.  Very nice curves :D

I haven't seen an original that well decorated!  If you could get yourself a time machine that bow would be worth two wives and your choice of horses!
