Here is an Osage bow I been working on for a few weeks,finely got it finished.It is
68 n-n  48 @28 it was made for a long armed Yankee.He wanted about 45 but I figure it will
lose a little so I stop at that.It is 4 year old Osage and the tips are 2 year old Osage.Turned
out pretty nice and shoots great I may try and get in one hunt with it before I sent it North. ;) :)
Hope yall like it.

Great looking bow Pappy! I like the recurves. Haven't done that yet---do you use dry heat or steam?
