Really nice bow.  That looks like a flawless piece of Osage.  I like the sharp tips.

That is a beauty. That many pounds out of a 58" bow with that draw length is amazing. Good piece of Osage. Thanks for sharing.

now THAT is a beautiful bow....nice lines, you've sure got an eye for practical beauty.

Steam bending of the bow at the handle is a puzzle to me ...If you wouldn't mind me askin...how'd ya do that?

You make some gorgeous bows man. Definitely got the most out of that piece of wood. I don't think I saw this on PP so I'm glad you posted it here. Thanks for sharing!

Nice Bow!!! 80# though??! Phew! Betcha it's a pull gettin' that back! Shorter bows always feel heavier. Your tiller is super. Much handshock? Did you want that much draw weight for something specific? Moose, elk maybe?

You can take moose and elk with lower weight. 45-50 is just fine.

Yes... I know. I'm just asking what he had in mind for the weight.

Elegant design. I especially appreciate the fades and the triangular levers. There's just something really pleasing to the eye with this bow- you must have nailed some golden ratio somewhere in there 'cause I just can't stop checkin her out : ) *inspired*
