About two weeks ago I started another Osage bow.........along the way it ended up too weak-just not what I wanted.
So having nothing to lose I cut it down from 64 inches to 60, heated in a bunch of backset and decided to rawhide the back.
Wanna have a look?
Here's the first pic-it is still sick and bandaged up
Bandages off but needs to be retillered
Skipping ahead a bit
here it is strung up shot in a lot and first coat of tru oil
Still needs a few more coats and then a leather grip-I'll get that on next few days
One more pic of the rawhide
It is 60" and 56#@28
I know, I know you want a money shot too!
