Bamboo Backed Osage R/D
« on: January 18, 2014, 05:30:58 pm »
Got this blank from Stan M. of 'Red Feather Archery'
The blank looked a little rough but I knew inside was a Beauty of a bow.
Anyways....
62"NTN
45@27"
John Strunk's skeleton lace pattern.
Red rat snake skins.





















Thanks for looking.

My, oh my! That is a beautiful bow. Hard to believe you got her to look like that considering what she looked like when I handed her off to you. Great work!  Love that quiver too!

Another Beauty Bryce!  8)  Hope I get to see it in person.

Good work Bryce. I really like the forward handle style. Yours makes me want to finish the blank I have.

Bryce, wow.  You take such simple components and transform them into such works of art.  The lines of you tips to your handle are just sexy.  I don't know how else to put it.  I love this I bow.  Can I have it  O:).  I would treat it real nice and give it a warm bed to sleep in.

Looks like a sweet shooting bow to me.  Unbraced profile looks great.
