Nice bow!

P.s lower that elbow a bit and you gain an inch dl and lessen the risk of injury to the shoulder longterm. D.s

Osage never dies. It just dries out and makes bow wood!! Lower is a tad flat but if it feels good call it good. I see a cool looking bow.

I agree with Will - there's ALOT going on in that lower limb. Nice save ! Bob

Thanks guys, looks like y'all are seeing the same things I'm seeing. It's hard to expect perfect symmetry from a stave like this one. But it sure is shooting where im lookin!

Very nice bow. Great idea as well. Every fence post I look at now will be with thoughts of making a bow.
