Thank you guys.

I told Glenn to hang onto any of that Osage he has left as it is primo wood.

That bow will get er done. Nicely tillered and good work playing to the characteristics of that particular piece of osage. Often that is the key to making a good bow it seems as each piece of wood has it's own strengths and weakness's. You worked that one into a fine bow.

Thanks guys

Glenn still needs to do some work to her, like applying a finish and maybe shape the handle to his hand.
