Title: 2 of the last 4!!
Post by: lowell on July 17, 2008, 09:55:07 pm

I've broken 2 of the last 4 attepmts but here are the 2 that survived!

 This one is a kids oak board bow 20# @ 20".... will pull to 23" or 24"...... 52" NTN rawhide backed and painted by my wife.  It is copied from a pattern I saw on here a while back.  Please  understand that I feel "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"!! ;)

  It was also my first attempt at antler tip overlays.

The second bow is 66" NTN osage, backed with ribbon snakes.  45# @ 26".

 This one may be my new hunting bow for this fall depending on what else I may make before then.  And if it continues to shoot as nice as it is right now!! ;D

  Jawge and others...  This is the one you helped me understand following the crown on earlier.  

  Thanks all, Lowell

  PS.  Shot this one at a traditional shoot last Sunday after wraping handle and setting a string nock in the morning.  Shot a score 1 less than the score I shot on Sat. with my old standby hunting bow!!  Made me feel like it was going to work out for me!! ;)

Great bows. I love the art work and that osage bow looks like it will be a fine hunting weapon.
