I got two staves of osage as a birthday present from my dad, along with some takedown sleves,so I tried to make a good takedown bow and I must say I like takedowns a lot.
The paintings are not too precise but that is because I made them with my 4 year old daughter. I tried to make this bow to fit to my arrows I made earlier, and on the inside of the fades is a "Tlingit" wolf and eagle, I think it fits the design, the tips are made of white cowhorn.
The bow has a good twang to it.
I hope you guys like it.
Specs are
64,9 inches
48 pounds
27 inch draw

Johannes,
I love the bow. May I ask what type of paint you used and at what stage was it applied. Also, did you apply finish over it?
Best regards,
Russ

@ comancheria: I applied one layer of water based finish, then drew the paintings with my daughter, a lot of sticky fingers and a red and white dog and after that i applied three more layers of finish.
the colors are normal wood colors, I applied them with very fine brushes and for the wolf and eagle the were apllied with a brush and for the fine details wit some fine pens.
Thank you everybody for your kind words I really appreciate feedback. :)

Absolutely!
I would rather see some uneven lines and know your daughter spent time with you on a project than to see it done like it was a computer generated 3D graphic. The former is appropriate for the spirit of these bows, the later is appropriate for wheelie bows.

Thank you JW_Halverson!
Yes it's definitely a special kind of bow, because made with my daughter and it now packs memories :)
