Nice Job! She's bending real sweet. I always wanted to build bows when I was a youngun but never had the learning resources that are available now a days.

 Keep up the good work bud, Stiks

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. Im glad im not one of those kids that spend their entire  time playing those silly video games. I'm really hoping it makes some meat this year; this will be my very first year hunting. I'll be hunting with an old recurve as well but only for small game

There isnt much osage around where i live. I've never seen it grow here but a fellow bowyer that lives in my town has seen some while driving to work. So all my osage bows have been from staves from Gstoneberg. I do have lots of hickory, erc, black locust, and some yew available and i'll be doing a build along on a snakey yew bow soon.

Well done, Young man!  When you get set up to give lessons, give me a call.  Small game is BIG sport hunting with equipment you made.Shoot well and be safe.
