You're such a tease Ken >:D  Can't wait to see em all done up.  Is the molle for the TG swap?

Damned Son !!!!!
        See what happens when ya get a little time off, Them are very sweet. I really like the laminated mollegabet, got good color combo's and the benifits of the Molle too....sweet.
        I'd be real interested to know about the hick/osage, performance-wise Seems like that ought to be a good combo of tension/compression. Really want to know how it shoots....

Good looking combinations Ken. They should be some hard hitting sticks. Looking forward to the full draw pics.

Looks like it might hold some potential Ken. Gotta like the contrast between the Hickory and the Ipe.

Ken, I don't think there are any worries about that.  Shoot to make the deadline you could pump out at least another 30 bows, who knows what you'll come up with by then.  I'm gonna shoot for a self osage but have a BBO in the works as a back up.
