Title: Copperhead Osage 5 curve bow
Post by: NorthHeart on August 07, 2020, 06:54:56 pm
Finished this Copperhead skin Osage bow with a matched set of arrows, rawhide backed just cause. Mild reflex in the tips, swept back handle. The premium piece of wood with red coloration throughout nicely compliments the skins. 60# at 24”, deadly fast. 55” OAL.  My buddy Jim Neaves helped me with an epoxy type finish(new to me) that really made the skins brilliant!  Courtesy to him for the only full draw pic i ever took before i met someone who just had to have the bow, shipped it to a guy in Atlanta, GA for his 50th birthday.  He was stoked!  This is one of my favorites so far, almost didn't want to let it go :OK

Sweet bow, nice curves, pretty skin. Sounds like I'm describing a beautiful woman.

I think the full draw doesn’t do it justice. Maybe try without the cant. Looks good. Arvin

Great googly woogly in the blessed morning!

There's nothing worth picking apart on this build. A beautiful design well executed and wonderfully dressed up! I gotta say I have nothing but respect for your work here, sir!

Thanks fellas, glad you like it!  Thank you Donald for the resizing. (=)  Still dealing with fat pics lol, appreciate yall seeing past that.  I need to find a good hosting site that doesn't charge a fee, if such a thing exist.

Beautiful bow! Have you looked at the bow photography tutorial? It shows how to post pics with some hosting sites. I use Flickr, it works pretty good, and it's free.
