Manny, I figure if  the term "flip flop" was good enough for Jimmy Buffet, then it's good enough for me? ;)

What the heck do you islanders call them?

Thanks for the kudos,all.

All that osage you got Timo, and you make an Elm bow-Very cool ;D  Looks great and that's some wild looking grain on the back as well. I really like that Winged Elm and made a D bow  from a slender stick David gave me..Creative overlays as well.

Timo that is a very cool bow and looks like it was quite a challenge. I don't hae the experience or the guts to work something like that just yet but maybe someday. I think your curves are excellent all the way around.  Danny

Sidewinder,the only way to gain experience is to get your feet wet. just remove everything that won't bend right. ;) ;D

Thanks George, and cowboy.

George, did you ever get a finish on that osage bow?
