Made this for my wifes Birthday, I was a week late but better late than never eh :)
Osage, 55.5" NTN, 30#@24" Backed with a western fox(pine) snake that my wife spotted on the side of the highway, they are becoming pretty rare and the only
snake in the UP big enough for backing a bow. They have a nice pattern and look as good as any rattlesnake in my opinion. AQlso made her 10 tonkin arrows that come in at 300 grains
plus or minus 20 grains. We went stump shooting today so she got to break it in and she did quite well with it. Lots of pictures so will take a few posts to get em all ;D Thanks for lookin eh.

Very nice bow Dana! - Tiller looks great, so does side profile and skin backing!

Thanks guys I really tried to do the bow justice, glad you all like the skins, pine snakes are getting to be pretty rare around here
so it was great to be able to salvage them from road kill. With the freakish warm weather and lack of snow we've been out cutting firewood and stump
shootin :) Someone asked how she shoots with the cap on but she only had it on forwards for the pictures :) Thanks again guys coming from all of you it
really means something :)
-
Nice job Dana,looks good to me,I know she will love that. :)

Thanks jamie, I get the osage when I go to the Tennessee Classic jamie, I'm known as the wood whore down there ;D

Happy birthday to your wife, no wonder she hangs on to ya. Looks like she's enjoying it. The pine snake is a good accent, I did a bow with a pinesnake skin a few years ago for a friends daughters bow, you're right, there isn't alot left around, mine was hit by my friends 4 wheeler by accident on a trail.
She's a lucky woman.
