I should have done this a long time ago. Last summer Mike Yancey contacted me, a few months later I had a new Pine Hollow Longbow. This bow is 60" 60@28, Sinew backed Osage with some added flare from Mike. I tell you what Mike is an artist. The sinew is made to replicate the antlers of a big bull elk. Its a shooter too!!!!

Randy, Mike had one similar to that at KaZoo. That line of repeated dots seems to be a favorite of his. I second the woodies, maybe with self nocks and tied on feathers?

I wonder what he rubbed into that sinew to get the finish like that. It looks great!!
Very nice bow and a shooter to boot

I'm becoming quite partial to Osage bows and that's a beauty!

Might be some black walnut husks or brown shoe dye. I got a similar effect from wood ashes/only it was grey/black instead.

Yep, you need some woodies to send downrange. Does this mean that (gasp!) the Ferret is retired for next elk season?
