sinew backed osage, dogwood arrows and brain tanned bow case and quiver.
« on: February 23, 2015, 12:19:53 am »
Well I just finished up two projects and thought I would share a couple of pictures. The bows are both osage with sinew backing 49" and 48" one has a trade cloth handle and the other a brain tanned handle. One bow is 45# and the other is 52# the bows were made from the same log and share the same knot several inches under the handle which made tillering  a careful process but I think they both bend very well.
The arrows are all dogwood with homemade hoop iron points, double shaft grooves and blue ochre cresting.
The bow case and quiver are smoke brain tanned mule deer with Czech seed beads in size 11/0 and red trade wool accents. Thanks for looking.

Cool looking sets!
Would love to see unbraced and braced. Do they hold much reflex?

  The bow case and the quiver are outstanding...Everything is really nice and a lot of work...What is the ratio on those points? Looks like 4 to 1, they look deadly...Sweet looking bendy's...
