Osage Bow and Bamboo Arrow Set 60#@28"
« on: December 22, 2019, 06:03:19 pm »
This is a custom set that's heading out to hunt elk and bear in New Mexico. The bow is osage orange backed with deer rawhide to help it in the dry climate of New Mexico, and decorated with Western diamondback rattler skins. The bow is 64" long and pulls 60#@28". The handle is deer leather with kangaroo lace. The string is d97 with mink fur silencers. The arrows are made with tonkin cane shafts from Mainely Primitive. They're fletched with wild turkey feathers and deer sinew. They have rattlesnake skin accents made from the same skins on the bow.

That is an absolutely beautiful set!  I love the bend and everything about it. Can you tell me how wide it is at the fades?  Your bows are amazing!  Thanks for posting

Thank you, Will. I believe it's somewhere around 1 5/8" wide until mid limb.

Mighty fine work making a great looking bow and set of arrows. I love making bows, but I dont think I have the patience for making such a beautiful set of arrows.

Thank you. I hear you. Arrow making tests my patience. I've done enough now that I have my system down and that makes it easier. It's still pretty finicky.

Thank you. I added some rawhide on the back for some extra insurance. I've gotten a little more cautious these days.
