Osage Selfbow With Rat Snake
« on: January 18, 2015, 01:16:00 PM »
I just finished this bow up for my best friends uncle. I've got two more to finish and then I can make myself a bow or two finally!  This one is another off of my reflex deflex form and is 62in. Long which for me is a longer bow but it needed to go out to 30 inches so I added some room for error. I fought with the alignment for a long time but I won in the end and it all came together.
62 ntn
52@30
Osage with rat snake skin
Cocobola and counter top tips.

Thanks for looking!
