Osage recurve with Windtalkers snake skin
« on: February 11, 2012, 06:43:00 PM »
Well here you go Windtalker , you wanted me to post a picture of the bow I made from your snake that passed on.
This one is an Osage bow that is 62" long and pulls 50#@27", backed with elk sinew and then covered with your boa skin.
Thanks for the skins!

Oh h#ll yeah!  That is a nice looking bow - great lines and love the osage.  Ted, I read on a few of your bow descriptions that they're fast flight compatible.  Is this one?  How's it shoot?

Thats a great looking bow, I love the big curves. (Kingsnake)  Yeah it was a redtail died during a power outage while I was working, I knew that Ted could do justice to the skins.

Wierd...

I heard that bow was backed with Montana Bull Trout skins, Grizzly Bear baculum limb tips, Wolverine sinew, Black Footed Ferret hide for an arrow rest with Bald Eagle down feathers for a wind indicator.  Nice work Ted, can't wait to shoot it and see you in March!  Peace out!

Hey EriK m sorry I didnt get back with you, I have been up to my eyeballs.
Besides all the regular work and the new Signature bow I have a friend here right now from Tanzania that guides cape buffalo, so we have been sharing tales and beers while showing him around the NW.
Look forward to seeing you in March, how about you Tommy , you going to make it this way in March?
