osage sapwood bow for my oldest
« on: December 30, 2013, 08:36:45 am »
I just finished this one up. I have made bows for my other two younger children while my oldest shot a modern long bow but he finally decided he would rather shoot one of mine. It has been a long time since I finished a bow but it felt good to build this one. Its basically just like my other bows just a bit lighter.  It has the same leather grip as the last few and also snake skins because his siblings bows all have them. I didn't outline the skins this time because the sapwood did it for me. Here are a few pics. Ill get the full draw up after work for yall.
Osage, snakeskin
