I love this bow! I've been back many times to admire it. :o
There's something about a Molly...and the craftsmanship
on this particular example is absolutely outstanding!
I've got a primo mulberry stave with a few more months
to cure that would make a great Molly. Thanks for the
inspiration!

Brilliant bow! - and the workmanship is very good! It's a pleasure to see such good photos too.

I've found that these bows seem to perform better with closer to 30/70 ratio for the tip/bending limb, as long as the inner limbs get an elliptical tiller. A little more bending limb will reduce stress and also reduce the tip weight that may contain a little "dead" weight. The 50/50-ones are incredibly smooth though, if the wood can take it, as it seems that this osage could. Beautiful!

This is the most beautiful bow I have seen in a while; makes me want to walk over to my shelf of bows and shun them all to the "corner of shame" and start all over!

That's one sexy beast Cody.  Congrats on another BOM winner.  I'm glad you won or I would have missed this one.  I missed when you originally posted, and was working out of town during the voting so I never got a chance to vote or even go over the entries.

That one is going to look real nice as a centerfold...  ;)   You took great pictures too.  If any of you other guys want some pointers of how to take good pictures for a BOM collage, just do like Cody does :)
