Title: Neat Bow Backing Idea.
Post by: Eric Krewson on August 16, 2008, 07:57:00 PM
My friend George is real creative, mighty good craftsman as well. He has always been a bird dog guy, best wing shot I have ever seen.

I was at his house the other day, he has made lot of osage bows over the years. He said they need a little tillering touch-up so I volunteered to rework some of them.

George backed this bow with pheasant tail feathers and it really looks sharp. I don't know what type of glue he used but the feather is really flat and looks like part of the bow.

While I was tillering the bow it popped a splinter on the back so I glued the splinter back in place and put a super glue soaked wrap on for insurance. The bow is 64" 46@28.
