Osage plains bows for two ladies (PART II) (No. 39)
« on: February 25, 2014, 03:50:57 pm »
Ok, here is the second part. This bow was requested by a Lady who is active indian hobbyist. She gave me the linen clothes for the handle (to match her self made quiver) and the horse hairs. The bow is unbacked as requested. Tips are flipped, handle setback.


50” ntn
25” draw
31# weight

enjoy …

Beautiful bend.  Masterful

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

Nice! I really dig it. Very primitive, but obviously not a simple build.

Nice antiquing on the paint job.  It reminds me how they try to replicate a time-worn finish on fine instruments.  Really makes it look like it's been around forever.
