I haven't posted a bow in a long time, so here I go. It's rawhide back Osage 47" TTT. I'm pulling it 23 inches plus. Broke my scale I don't know the draw weight, but it gotta be 50 to 55 lbs. I finish on the ride is mahogany another dye mixed with Scarlet fabric dye. The pattern was completely by accident, but I like. Its very temperamental about the release, but when you get it right wow!
I can feel just a little bit of hand shock, but it's not bad. Thanks for looking.

Nice bendy osage bow, great tiller too.

Thanks everyone I appreciate the compliment. I thought I ruined it. After shooting it, I left it in my garage, braced for almost a day and a half. It did have about 3 inched of reflex... it's all gone now, but a least it went back to being straight.
-
Heck ya man! That's nice ;D

I LOVE the color scheme with the reddish bow and dark green handle. What is the handle, anyway?
-

it's bank line used for fishing, I'll put a proper handle when I get some leather...

That's a fine looking little shorty. I bet keeping it braced for that long just sped up the breaking process. I bet it never takes another bit of set. Osage is really amazing. A friend of mine left a little bendy handled osage bow stay with a school group that didn't unbrace his bow for four days; it went back to dead flat again. That yellow wood is something else. You have a perfect bend on that one.

Thank you sir I'm really happy with it. The plan is to use it as my kayak bow.
