55 pound snake
« on: December 02, 2012, 06:09:11 pm »
I recently got some really nice dry osage from a friend in Ohio. A couple staves had wavy grain along the edge... first belly split cried out SNAKE! 



66 ntn 55# @ 28" retains 1" of reflex, first coat of truoil, skived leather handle.









Full draw (arrow is 29.25" BOP)

I see a lot of bows on here that I like.  This one I love.  every aspect.  Don't skin it IMO.  Show off that mighty yellow wood.
