57" rawhide and snake skinned Osage

[razorsharptokill]

This bow had a mild concavity on the back of one limb that splinters were lifting. I patched it with sinew then applied rawhide to the entire back. After shooting it a LOT I decided it was going to make it and decided to skin it also. Its pulling 50 at 28". I will apply a finish of spar urethane over it in a few days.

Nice looking bow, and good wood. I hope it holds up, and you get years of use from it.

Almost finished. 52lbs @26". Need to wrap the ends of the skins, then add a shelf and window pad.

Very nice, I like that full draw photo.  That's a good looking bend.  I'm liking the three fingers under these days, as well.
