Here's the wifes Christmas bow
« on: December 25, 2011, 11:10:00 AM »
Here's some pics of the little osage bow I built my Bride for Christmas.

 Got new internet service so now I can do more pics    :D

  60" Tip to tip 24# @ 25" a few whoopdies in her with some flipped tips and a little R/D off of DVShunters caul design.

 Skinned with copperheads and buffalo horn tips and underlays. Did a tanned copperhead skin leather handle wrap that turned out great.
 
 Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Dave all you need to do to tan those dried snakes is soak them a solution of denatured alcohol and glycerin. You can get glycerin at the drug store. I'll look up the ratio for the mix and drop you a pm.

 Soak your skin in it for a few days and lay it out and let it dry. It works pretty well. I glued the copperheads to another piece of leather for the wrap since they are so thin but it worked great.
