osage/hickory reflexed short bow

<< < (4/5) > >>

radius:
Some more pictures.  This is the bow after taking a dark stain and one coat of tung oil.  Unstrung.



Got lucky here



This handle overlay is yew, not osage, but it kind've looks like osage after the staining.





Strung pictures to  comd later...gotta go to work!

1/2primitive:
It looks good! I'm liking how this is turning out!

radius:
these little bows are cute, but ornamental...even a pigmy couldn't pull it to his full draw without hearing a cracking noise!

a finnish native:
some people prefer to draw shorter. How about some finished brace and FD pics?

mullet:
  I'm confused, from the pictures it looks like the tip overlays are on the same side as the handle. Oop's didn't realize you put a handle strip on the back. You don't think all that stuff will pop off?  Is there a full draw picture or one with it strung? what's the weight and draw length?  Looking forward to seeing this one shooting.
