Bamboo backed osage deflexed-reflexed long bow
Posted on 26. Nov, 2009 by rondowney in Custom Long Bows
This bow has an osage core with bamboo for backing, and gemsbock horn on the belly over bloodwood. I used buffalo horn for tip overlays and added some ebony and yellow heart to create a snake image, then installed snakeskin over the baboo backing. The riser is made of osage, blood wood and snake wood, with the rest out of soffened cow hide, and is 100 % hand made. Its tillered to 60 lb. @ 28 inches and is very fast, not to mention quiet and accurate. Thanks for looking!
