Yeah you worked a really nice bend out of that gnarly wood.  Nothing wrong with 62#.

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Nice job on a tough piece of wood. I like the way you did the tips, I'm probably going to steal that idea.

That is really nice work. Was the bend sideways? Did you use dry heat? Thanks for posting it.

That's the way I like 'Em Ryan - nice job ! Hope to see that at Marshal - Bob.

It was bent sideways and had some deflex. I used dry heat.

I smell a BOM cooking. Having seen this in stave form and bow form, Im must say Im quite impressed Ryan. You did a killer job on that stick of wood. Your learning FAST!

Impressive bow there Brian. It has great color and character. I really like the contrast the osage from a different tree did for the tips, it is subtle but in a way that only adds to the character of the osage in this bow.
