Sturgeon backed Osage “molle” 55# @ 29”, 66” – Broken
« on: October 30, 2015, 12:16:47 am »
Just finished up this Osage lever tip bow. It draws super smooth, shoots flat and is dead in the hand. It is sturgeon skin backed. Tip overlays are bison rib bone. The handle wrap is ray hide. The wiggle in the upper limb tip puts the string favoring the arrow pass, which turned out nice since the take down sleeve is somewhat wide. Finished with shellac, then alternating linseed oil and beeswax.

















Full Draw

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

WOW Carson, classy in all categories! That is beautiful work buddy.
Just sitting at breakfast and checking parallel what's going on at PA, I stopped drinking my coffee seeing your bow!
Congrats!
