Osage and canebreaks
« on: June 08, 2014, 06:34:25 pm »
This is a bow I was working on at the classic. I didn't hit it very hard, but I did flip the tips and do a little scraping between pit sessions. Once I got back home, I eventually found the right motivation to get it finished up. Chris helped with the tiller, Eddie supplied the skin, and the rat fur came from Greg. (Thanks guys!) Lastly, I added bocote tips and made a FF string. The whole thing has about 6 coats of spar urethane sealer on it. 

The stats: 68" ttt, 50#@28". 1 1/2" at the fades to 1/2" at the tips. Very smooth and fun to shoot!









And the money shots...

That tiller came right around! Beauty man!

That's a beauty and the tiller is dead on. Very nice, Scott.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

  Scott, That is a beauty from tip to tip, belly to back 8) I like how the knot shows through the skins...

Looks ready for the deer woods, real nice bow indeed. Got me a canebreak skin at the classic too and waiting for the right bow to put it on,  hope it turns out as nice as yours.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
