Elk antler bow in the works

<< < (4/7) > >>

gfugal:
You say you've made other antler bows? Do you have a link I would love to see them.

Redhand:
Thanks Morgan, the marrow part is the back of the bow. There is no wood involved just antler and sinew.

gfugal   I posted one on page 3 I do believe in this horn bow section. I updated the full draw pic on the last page of the comments. I'll see if I can post the link.  I also posted another one on Wizard Goats sheep horn bow build also on page 3.

BowEd:
I see.Yes that sinew does take some time.On those elk legs I use a pliers many times to get ahold of it good.Trying to save on the fingers....lol.I keep stripping it in half/in hal/inhalf etc.An ambitious build.Gotta be pretty rewarding since shooting the bull yourself and all.

bjrogg:
That's looking pretty sweet there Redhand. Very interesting way to build a bow. Thanks for the compliment but it's definitely out of my league yet. Some day though. Gotta get some antlers first.lol.
I'm still checking in and enjoying the post. :OK

Redhand:
Thanks bjrogg and Beadman   I got most of the sinew prepared so hopefully I can get this thing sinew backed and start curing.
