I know this is a long shot but thought maybe someone may be able to ID this great old long bow.Osage with sapwood & sinew backing...semi recurve tips..Found it in Detroit Mi.

Rick,

Looks like another old Tomato Stake. You probably better just send it to me, as my Tomato Plants are getting pretty big right now and I could use a few more stakes.

Seriously, I can't help you with the ID. The handle area looks a lot like some of the old Northwest bowyers work that was made of yew. Being osage and sinew backed, I don't have any ideas for you.

Thanks Wade,I figured that would be the response I would get.I walk by these old bows & just can't leave-em behind.I dont even think a tomato would grow on this old stick.....

Hi Rick, you might want to contact Ted Fry at Raptor Archery (he is a sponsor and his ad is on the main page). He knows a lot about old Northwest bows and bowyers, and may have an idea-or not-but he would be a good person to ask.
