Title: Two Osage Selfbows with Bison Hide Quivers
Post by: organic_archer on January 16, 2021, 08:51:13 pm

Hope you're all having a nice weekend! Thought I'd post a couple pictures of some osage bows, quivers, and arrows I finished up and sent off last week. The one with the snakey fade is the 58# bow and the one with the darker color is 51#. The quivers are made from hand-stitched bison hide with coyote pelts applied to the outside. The arrows are Surewood Shafts with wild goose feathers, self nocks, and artificial sinew binding. This one was of those times when you've gotta send away a couple you'd have loved to keep for yourself!

Real classy work all around. Sure like the flat unstrung profiles.

Very nice, simple, selfbows.

Goose feathers are nice and lite. I got a pile I need split and sand.

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the compliments.

HH - not sure if you’re into stripping feathers, but goose strips pretty easily!

Great looking sets, Correy. Glad to see you on PA. I have trouble getting my goose feathers to strip without breaking. It's frustrating. I strip all my turkey feathers just fine but end up ruining half the goose feathers I try to strip.
