A Happy Hannah!
« on: August 18, 2015, 02:00:10 pm »
Cipriano's daughter needed a bow. We worked out a deal and this is what I came up with. 68" long Osage with flipped tips. The overlays and arrow shelf are Rams horn (thanks Chuck) and the handle lam is paduak and redwood burl (thanks G.) Ms. Hannah said, "no snakeskins!" So it went out clean and unbacked. I used Danish oil to darken it a bit then beeswax to seal it. Pulls 42# at her 24" so it looks like she gonna have to work up to it a bit.  ;D










God Bless!

Great bow... I like the bit of character on the upper limb.
I think the last 2# may be a bit too much ;)

That is a looong bow for a short draw - but looks great. I'm with Del, but with a little training she will get the last 2 pounds :laugh: :laugh:

Great bow, I agree with Ms. Hannah in that I prefer without snakeskins.
