This is a 47" sinew backed osage bow, my hunting bow for the last few years...
   

   

Two osage bows I made for a Colorado elk hunt...
   

...my host, Kenneth Gorman on the elk hunt. I made one bow for him and one for myself
   

...another Eastern Woodland style locust bow  with single side nocks I made for a Primitive Archer bow trade. This bow went to a Viet Nam vet so I decorated it in the colors of the Viet Nam service ribbon...
