Thank you :)  No worries...I pull heavy bows frequently so i'm fairly used to them now.  Funny story...shot at the target one day, missed off to the left, ricocheted off the ground and stuck 2 inches in a tree about 25 yards off, haha!  Have to get a ladder to get the arrow out of the tree. :o

Impressive how much stress Osage can take without being backed! Wow.
Beautiful bow!

Thank you!  Yes I love osage just as much as you all do.  I wish I lived in a state where osage grew so I could have a consistent stock of the wood, instead of buying staves one at a time on ebay.  But, being from MN that's what I have to do.  To each his own, right?  If I lived near osage trees that I could harvest on a regular basis, I'd probably be workin' on a bow every day since I love it so much!  You guys that live near osage trees don't know how lucky you are!!  ;D

Cool_98_555 , you're lucky to be able to buy the staves on Ebay.
