Just finished this one up from another wonky stave. Osage 47#@28”, 66” ntn. Has about a1/2” knot hole in the upper limb. Roadkill prairie rattler skins for decoration.

I love this bow, you did an excellent job.   What did you use for the rest, and did you use serving at the end of the snake skin?

Wallski, I glue a couple of thin pieces of leather that I use for the handle wrap, the sleeve them down and glue it on, the wrap the handle. I used some thin black polyester upholstery thread to cap off the snake skins with, coated with a thin coating of superglue before finishing everything with Truoil.

This is the bow I got my deer with this October. I shot it from 25 yards. Its 43" ntn and draws 45lbs at 20". It zips an arrow 145 fps. It has a tooooon of string follow but still has a bunch of power obviously. Haha it sent my 400 grain arrow with a trade point all the way through a white tail deer. Its a sinew backed elm bow. I love how compact it is. It definitely gives me an advantage when hunting because I can get through tight spaces and stay small when stalking.

Oh yeah its a yucca bowstring and I painted the back of it with wild grape juice and to turn it that indigo color i gathered some alkaline powder from a dried up slough. There is a chemical reaction that happens when you mix wild grape juice with a base. Its kinda like litmus testing paper. When the solution is a base it turns blue and when its an acid it turns red.
