[QUOTE="Lost Lake, post: 5786080, member: 12599"] Here are a couple. Both Osage Orange, and the snakeskin backed one is a Holmegaard style bow made from a crooked, snakey "character" stave. I have a sister stave to it from the same tree, just waiting for 15 years now for me to turn it into a bow. The unbacked one was made from a small diameter stave from a 6" tree. Lots of humps and waves to it. It's made in the Classical American flatbow style of the 1930's. I chose to put cow horn tips on it from some Texas Longhorn roping steers we had at the time. I don't shoot these much anymore because I went to a different shooting style which forced me to drop about ten pounds of draw weight, and these are a smidge too heavy for comfortable shooting now. I need to get off my duff and make a couple more for next season. [/QUOTE]
