Thinking of making a self bow and just wanted to know some of your thoughts on them?Any pics would be helpful even what you have used them for.
I have sinew backed Osage bow I'm getting ready to skin. It came out to 55 lbs at 28. I'm thinking of using it for black bear in Idaho and deer this fall. I'll post some pics later.
I love shooting my self bows and I have really nice BW.
Here's the one that'll get Timber rattler skins

You should go to the "Bowyer's Bench" section of TradGang. Lots of selfbow threads there.
