Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

I got the osage relatively straight and took out most of about 45 degrees twist from tip to tip. Flipped one tip and will do the other tonight after work.

I used steam of the first limb and ended up with some cracks that follow the grain and are anywhere from 1" to 1/4" from the edge for about 6" long.

From what I have read here, should not be a problem once filled with super glue.

I may rawhide back it but just wondering about a big knot that is raised about 1/4". I will post some pics tonight.

Well, that settles it, no matter how nice of a bow you use if you're a poor shot you're a poor shot ;)

This is it for the tease pics until the owner posts. I have to work on the finish a little and sign it before I ship, but I've messed with this thing enough!

Edit: Oh, and I'm waiting for Blaflair2's mink pieces to get here so I can silence this already quiet thing. Big thanks to Blaflair2 ;D

Not sure what you are getting, or where you are getting it!   :-\   Just the idea that when you get it, it makes you quiver....I just don't wanna know!
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

That sux man. I haven't worked on my trade bow lately. My BL recurve was calling me. That's my plan b, maybe plan a. I dunno. I'm just gonna finish the two and the nicer one goes to the victim! They are almost twins, ones a little wider if u know what I mean ;0)
