Osage Bow Backed with Dark Rattlesnake Skin 35#@28"
« on: June 20, 2018, 06:22:42 pm »
I finished up a new osage bow today. It's 61" ntn and 35#@28". I had to scrape past some cracks in the belly when I flipped the tips and that led to a nice light weight shooter. i backed this bow with rawhide due to some checks in the back. Probably unnecessary but I decided to err on the side of caution since I didn't know who was going to end up with the bow. I nice man had gifted me the rattlesnake skins at a shoot last year. They are very dark and don't have a strong pattern but they ended up looking nice with the over all dark theme on this bow.

Thanks, Rob. I'm glad the skins looked as good as they do. When I first pulled them out I was underwhelmed.

Thanks, BJ

Beautiful! Great bend! It looks much stronger, than it actually is.
I have to say, that I’m really a fan of your work, Weylin!  :)

That is a really sharp looking bow.  I love the way you stained the tips and the skins look great on that bright osage!  Beautiful work!!
