Title: Boo backed osage with rattler skins
Post by: Buck Buckley on April 02, 2007, 06:41:00 AM
Me and my dad have way to much fun building these bows.We try to make them all a little different with wood combo or shape the handle a little different. Everyone you seem to learn something new. Most of all it gives us time together. Here is the latest one. Its 58" 48#@28". The handle is Kingwood and Bloodwood.I stiched the handle with a baseball stich instead of a cross stich I think it came out all right. For the bow swap I am going to make one like this but with deer antler on the overlays.

Beautiful bow, love the grain in the handle and the baseball stitch looks better than the cross-stitch if you ask me.

GORGEOUS!!! Great looking bow. Enjoy all you can with your Dad. I lost mine to cancer in '83 and still miss him.

I am lucky enough to live close to Buck. He was kind enough to let me take this bow home for a little shooting time with it. All I can say is it shoots better than it looks, and it looks great. Buck and his Dad make a great looking and shooting BBO.  Glenn
