Title: Belly skin backed Osage
Post by: TimothyR on August 24, 2016, 11:21:14 pm

Just finished this up. Osage backed with belly skin (from Cip) 42#@ my trade guys draw length
Hemp wrap on the handle. Handle and arrow rest is built up with thick leather. Tips are bone saddle blanks. Finished with tung oil.  Hope y'all like it!  Any comments are appreciated. Tim

Nice bow with a nice bend. I really like the looks of belly scales for backing.

Nice looking bow!  The belly skin looks good.  It should add a little bit of protection to the back.

Well done, sir. I've got some cotton mouth bellies I've been wanting to try this with. Thanks for the inspiration.
