George you are so right and I find myself just looking at the tiller, and not listening to what the wood is
telling me. I think part of that is when we post pictures we want the tiller to be photogenic ::) With this
one I didn't go for arc of circle tiller but want the stiff tips. Its 47# and outshoots any other bow I've made regardless
of their draw weight.

Lennie I cut that stave you sent me in half and got 2 nice staves from it ;D The wife has called dibs on the other one :(
I will have tons of sinew this winter once more so if ya need more just holler eh ;)

Wowzers Dana!! Nice one. I like the tiller you gave it and the skins do look like you knew what you were doing. As far as string follow I dont see any. I also like those tips.
I gotta get to my osage. Right after the maple and hickory ;D Havnt made a hunting weight osage yet. I have big plans for one with snake skins and all. Youve got me inspired to get started soon.                               Jesse

I think your being a little too critical about the tiller.. I think it looks great, and I like stiff outer limbs myself. 
   Good job my friend! ;)

Great job Dana! That bow looks great, the skins, handle and tips all look great together on that yellow wood.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your compliments :)

Ryano Osage is good wood no doubt but I believe a character bow from white wood is more diffuct to make
and can perform just as good or better with the proper design.
