Osage straight ALB painted back (No 134)
« on: November 01, 2021, 06:30:23 am »
This ALB is made from a knot free and clean stave, only a few pins are on the belly. A drying crack on the back of the inner half upper limb was unavoidable. Fortunately it was running clear with the grain. It was filled with runny super glue – no problem. The stave needed only little heat corrections to come along.
The belly is rounded, fades got a ridge and at tips the cross section is a high triangle.
Tip overlays are made from antler and are rather high and spiky.
Handle is buck leather and kangaroo lacing.
The camo on the back is painted (like on bow no. 133), stain is ironchloride and the red and black accents are artists ink. The pattern is fading out towards the tips.

Very nice.
You almost have to be afraid that you won't find the bow again if you in fall put it somewhere in the forest... 8)

Nicely done,  Simon.  The artwork & staining really compliment an already beautiful bow.
