Title: My Latest Creation
Post by: Tommy Leach on May 22, 2010, 11:24:00 PM
Here is my lastest bow - 61" NTN, 54# @ 27", Osage w/ flipped tips, Sheep horn overlays, backed w/ Diamondback rattlers and a beaver tail handle wrap.
Thanks for looking,
Tommy

Wow does that look nice.  Everytime I see an Osage selfbow, it makes me want to give it a go, but they seem a bit daunting.  Not to mention I don't have any Osage around here....  Great job and love the skins on there   :thumbsup:

Excellent looking bow!!  I can build a laminated bow...no problem. I really wish I could build a selfbow !!  That is perfect...Osage with the snakeskin.  I have never seen the beaver tail for a handle...I really like it.

When you get tired of that bow, I'll gladly take it off your hands!!

Great job !!!

You can't be posting bows without a full draw, dingleberry  :)  I do know that I don't need to see this bow in person to check it out, your work is always flawless.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'll get  unbraced and full draw pictures posted soon. Jim, I used dry heat with a little cooking oil and my jig to reflex the tips. It's pretty easy, just be sure they are hot before you start trying to bend them.
Thanks again - Tommy

That's a fine looking bow...very well done but I agree, needs the "money" full draw shot.
