Title: Osage bow I started about 6 years ago
Post by: razorsharptokill on June 06, 2019, 08:30:23 PM

Here is a bow I started on and never finished. I took it out of the rafters of my shop today to give it a look and decided to sand it a little and see what kind of shape it is in. It looks to be ok. I think I will finish it now. I have a few bows in various stages of completion. I may sinew back this one.

Not sure that I will sinew back it. i like the snap sinew gave one of my other bows. I would put snake skin over the sinew. I need to get it on the tillering tree to check the limbs 1st I suppose.

That bow will appreciate you for taking her back out and dolling her up. Looking forward to your progress.

Agree, she deserves a chance to cast some shafts! Very nice
