Title: Bamboo Backed Osage R/D
Post by: Bryce on January 18, 2014, 05:30:58 pm

Got this blank from Stan M. of 'Red Feather Archery'
The blank looked a little rough but I knew inside was a Beauty of a bow.
Anyways....
62"NTN
45@27"
John Strunk's skeleton lace pattern.
Red rat snake skins.

My, oh my! That is a beautiful bow. Hard to believe you got her to look like that considering what she looked like when I handed her off to you. Great work!  Love that quiver too!

Bryce, wow.  You take such simple components and transform them into such works of art.  The lines of you tips to your handle are just sexy.  I don't know how else to put it.  I love this I bow.  Can I have it  O:).  I would treat it real nice and give it a warm bed to sleep in.

Looks like a sweet shooting bow to me.  Unbraced profile looks great.

Hey! Thanks a lot guys:)

To be honest the tillering gave me fits bc I was unsure what it should 'look like' so I asked pearly And his best advise was "just leave the last 8" stiff" .......ok lol
