Title: Osage static for Roland (No. 85)
Post by: simson on December 02, 2016, 04:24:46 pm

Another fumed static (one week), full of character, laid out as a 5 curve. One limb had this form natural, the other limb got induced curves. Ridges beginning at the handle are tapering out past the fades. The levers got very deep string grooves with sharp ridges. Addy rings on handle and tips allows cutting in the back. Handle leather (salmon, dyed) and arrow pass (sting ray) are fully inlayed which makes a special look. No shelf (request by receiver).

49#/28”
62” ntn
1¾” reflex
5¼” brace height

Beatiful Bow as Always Simon.  The salmon skin inlay is amazing.

 I have some stingray I was on the fence about using for an arrowpass until now!

Oh yea, I really like this one.  I like the way you transitioned the belly to the handle with the bevel.  The grip, the inlay, the curves, and sweet bend, all look great.  You have superb attention to detail. I dig it Simon.

Hmm, I don't think my pics are that good. Look at Carson's or Weylin's - here are the master photographers.
Yes I take the pics myself (except f/d taken mostly by my lovely wife), and my camera is a simple 50 buck thing ...


Thanks again everybody!

I've always liked those ridges you put in your fades. Gives them such a unique look. I'm gonna have to try my hand at it soon. Beautiful weapon sir.
