40" Osage Kiowa Replica

This is a replica of a Kiowa osage self-bow in a museum collection. It is 40" nock-to-nock and the belly is painted with charcoal and ochre. String is 2-ply rawhide and the bow pulls 74# at 19" draw. Horsehair tuft is from Dixie the Amish horse (thanks, Dixie!)
Thank you for looking.

Simson, I was suprised myself. This piece of osage is STIFF. I would not hold her at full draw given the specs but I enjoy snap-shooting at this weight. My wrist doesn't, though... (Suck it up, cupcake!)

I love the replica bows. Yours looks like the real deal, natural materials and not looking like it was made in our times.
Cool work AB.

Nice job on that! 74# even at 19"would be a handful for me!
