Osage Longbow with Rattler skins 60#@31"
« on: January 01, 2019, 02:33:16 pm »
Finished up this longbow that's headed out to Michigan. It has a long draw on it, 60#@31" and measures 70" ntn. I like the simple unwrapped handle with the strike plate. It makes for an uninterrupted look. The tip overlays are deer antler with some texture still showing. The snake skins were a real nice pair of smaller snakes that I got from Cipriano. The smaller snakes have such a distinct pattern.

Great job Weylin.  I really like the color contrast of the snake skin and osage yellow on this one.

Nice work on those tips.  I like the rounded bottom tip to. The point ones hurt my foot.

Looks good. I like how you didnt work too hard trying to make both limbs look the same and just tillered accordingly.

Love the skins and the profile looks real nice with that little wiggle in it.
