I haven't posted a bow in a while and actually finished two for this years hunting at Twin Oaks that I didn't get to make because of surgery.
This bow is osage stained with walnut hulls and is 64" T to T. It pulls 53#@29" and is a real treat to shoot. I heated very little reflex into the bow and nothing pulled out after shooting it numerous times and still goes back to it's original shape after sitting.
It has cow horns for tip overlays with the bottom one double notched for easier stringing with a stringer. The wrap is hemp and then dolled up with a big, pretty Cotton Mouth
moccasin skin.

And the money shot, and I don't know how I can edit my pictures on my computer but when I post them they go back sideways like they were. ???

Nice Eddie, love the skins. Sorry you didn't get to fling some arrows at some TN. whitetails , maybe next year. Looks like that would have done the trick. ;)

Very nice, Eddie. I am glad you are back and making bows. Jawge

Thanks, guys, it really means a lot.
Morgan, I just take a bunch of walnut shells and boil them till the water is real dark. After it cools I strain the water into jars and that's all there is to it.
Jawge, a couple more scrapes on a Bamboo backed osage and a string will finish up another one.
