No there is no wood core in this bow. It is a American composite replica. Here are the pics of the tips and handle. The handle on this bow is wrapped with sinew so I have a bighorn bow I am about to back with the sane handle. A leo splice with two 4" sections of horn for handle risers. Glued and riveted with copper pegs(Nez Perce copy)

Chuck, to my that is the ultimate weapon, one day I'll get some horns and attempt that bow!  If you need someone to test it on Florida animals send it my way! LOL 

BTW, still shooting both bows I got from you.

Take care,

Donnie

Thanks Donnie,
Like I say, anyone who knows how horn/sinew works and has a lot of patience can make one of these.

I still have your osage bow. It was my first osage bow. Now have a few more. Shot it yesterday

where did you get your copper?  I have never seen copper wire that thick. 

Again I say, Nice work.

that would be a very handy bow in the bush! Nice speed you got from it too. Must have some good cast. Nice job.
