Made this for my buddy, cause it was his birthday and I am trying to get him interested in Trad.
Osage selfbow, 65", 55#@28". My first leather wrapped handle. Should have looked on here for a "how to", but as usual,,, I just made it up as I went along. Used a mohogany stain on it and it kinda looks as if it was aged osage.
