is 2 strands enough for this bow? ;)
« on: February 17, 2020, 03:11:48 PM »
thought about doing 3 strands but think it would be overkill :) LOL


11" long.  probably 8oz @ 4"  :thumbsup:


but to be serious,
its made from osage,
will be snakeskin backed,
doing a sewn on leather handle,
and a tiny deer antler shelf.

actually tillered it with my scraper,
figured that if im making it,
i may as well do it how i would on a full size bow  :bigsmyl:

Waxed leather thread would work.

You and Pat B. with the miniatures! Thats pretty cool :thumbsup:
What you going to do with that?
Waxed thread is a good one. Artificial sinew would look good also.
