Rawhide backed osage xmas bow.
« on: December 20, 2014, 02:39:38 pm »
A friend wanted a beginner's bow for his adult son for xmas.  It was a little deflexed so, with some advice from Pearl Drums, I tempered in a little reflex with results exactly as PD said.  I agonized for a month over what appeared to be a worm track, that could barely be felt with the fingernail but which ran diagonally across one midlimb.  Finally I backed with rawhide.
Overlays are plum.
I did a trade with "ajbruggink" and got some arrows for it and they fly nicely from it.

Nice work Steve, good to see another bow from you.  Those tips look really nice.

That's a nice bow. The draw knives you traded me are great, I like the curved blades :)

Thanks, Y'all !

Carson-- Yea, I packed up my basement/shop and put in storage, remodeled the basement, put the house on the market for 3 months, sold it, bought another, moved, and set up a new shop.  Took almost a year off.  Didn't even hunt (to really speak of).

Aaron--Great arrows....glad the knives are going to work for you.

Don--Where's that OS bow...should be done by now?!

Again, thanks everyone for the feedback.

Nice job!  Looks like a nice little bit of reflex in the unbraced picture.  Should be a snappy shooter.
