Good tiller and design, also very pleasing effect with the two woods. Were you putting two broken bows to good use, working with what you had, or just wanted the unique  look? nicely done and welcome abord.   Kenneth

OK The the rest of the story...The blank was given to me by my good friend Gary Davis. Went to the Kalamazoo Expo to help him do sinew back demos.
When I spotted the blank I asked him "What's with this" He said it was going to me or Pappy to see if it could be made into a bow. My reply was something like I am here & Pappy is in Tenn. THANKS.. There was much discussion at the Expo by diffrent Boyer's as to how good of a bow could be made with 2 diffrent woods for limbs. Well I am here to tell ya. It works just fine. Is it difficult to tiller ? Not difficult but diffrent for sure. I can not weight to try this again with some other combos
of wood. WHY ? Because of the challenge & it is fun. To me that is what making wooden bows is all about

Davy,
   I guess with the coat and hat you were trying to confuse me.  I remember you from the Tennessee Classic because Pappy talks about you all the time.  Just because I don't get to say much I really do know what is going on!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your Bow looks like to me, since I see a lot of Bows, a bow with a lot of character.......It is really beautiful especially the grip and the tips.  I really like the snow in the background.  Well done...Keep up the good work.  Hope we see you in May........  :)

How is the balance of the bow. I would have put the osage on the bottom because it is a heavier wood. I guess that shows how much I know! ;D     Pat

That's a best-of-both-worlds scenario bow there.  :) I remember seeing Chris Tindall (BowKinn) post a yewsage hybrid years ago, this is the only other one that I've ever seen. Mighty fine looking weapon, and great detail work. Looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
