Sinew backed Osage...
« on: July 23, 2012, 08:05:04 pm »
This is a Lakota style bow that I made via the build-a-long by boarriorbows on YouTube. It was a definite labor of love and I enjoyed every minute of the build. She's 58" tip to tip and 56" ntn, my draw is 28" but I've yet to put a scale on it because I don't have one, plus I think the sinew still has a little curing to do. I'm guessing that it's around 45-50#. Made from Osage orange, backed with sinew and carp skins. String is Dacron B50, handle wrap is cheap leather from a craft store and I made the silencers from wool yarn. Anticipating my next build already.

The color scheme was mostly out of a lack of options. I only have the tan Dacron, so that was that. lol And I'm already scoping out some more Osage for my next project. :)

Man-o-man that does this heart some good!  :) :) :) :)

Glad to know the build-a-long was helpful, but all the credit goes to you as you were the one that held the drawknife and made it happen. That is one fine looking bow right there!

Congratulations on your bow!
