my trade bow "Prairie Rattler" Sinew backed Osage five curve
« on: June 10, 2012, 03:55:05 pm »
Well it's  same as done.  Sinew backed Osage five-curve with pyramid limbs and semi-static non contact recurves. 54" ntn, 60#@26"  draws nice with no stack.  The handle starts bending at about the same time the recurves open up a bit at about 23".  The tips are hackberry, the skins are prairie Rattler covering 3 layers of Gus's fine Sinew.  Thanks Gus!  Simple b-50 14 strand Flemish string.  The handle wrap is Bison hide with scraps (belly scales) from the Rattler skins sewn on for piping .   A few more arrows and a few more coats of tru-oil and I'll ship her out to her new home.  Which will be a couple weeks before I get around to doing.  I hope xxxxxxxxxxx is patient!  Thanks for looking ,   Josh

That's what I call some curves! Very nice bow Doc. Maybe you should change your name to Bow Doc...get it?  ;)

Doc:  Now that is a fine, fine piece.  Right down to the belly scale piping and rattles.  You stepped up to the plate on that one.  That is just one cool bow.

A question, Josh. Did the limbs start out straight and the curves were the result of set that was a planned eventual product of the short bow length? No matter how I tried to word that is didn't sound right. I hope you know what I mean. ???
