« on: February 22, 2008, 10:31:06 pm »
This is a Osage,Bamboo backed bow that I did awhile back, this bow is 1 5/8 at the fades and tapers progressively to the tips which are 1/2 wide.The knocks are pin type this bow measures 64 inch knock to knock it pulls #45 @ 28 inch.Theback is painted red,black and white, the two arrowheads are silhouettes of zwicky however you spell that the Finnish is helmsmans spar varnish.Thehandle is a 1/2 strip gold Elk hide wrapped around sorry about the glare from the flash still learning this photo stuff hope you enjoy.
