Well just got back from the Classic and I had a package on the porch when i got home  ;).... JonW gave me a beauty of a bow! Brother that must have been a monster osage! The back is wide and flat! Cant wait to shoot it in the daylight tomorrow! I will get pics up as soon as I can. Thanks Bro!

On a side note; I got to meet my recipient at the Classic so now I know a lttle more bout him and got a good idea wich bow to finish up for him  ;)... Brian

Glad it got there in one piece Brian. That was a monster of a tree at 34" across the stump. I am looking forward to making more bows from that tree because of the lack of set that your bow ended up with. I hope you enjoy it.

I was shooting it last evening, Auggie.  It shoots powerfully!

I really appreciate it, my friend.  I posted a picture of you and I up on one of the Classic threads, let me get that one up here and another of my shooting it.

Just received 2 beautiful staves from my bud sidewinder (danny) ready to rip into them but of course it's raining to beat the band! Have several board bows and lams put together but folks just don't seem to take to them like staves! Have a 55" osage molly. With big hooks,deflexed through the handle.not sure it will handle what I'm gonna ask from it? I buggered my hhb stave by hitting it to soon with dry heat after steaming recurves,it's fixable with brush nocks or something ,had to go quite deep to remove the tension fracture.the rosewood I keep messing up cuz I can't follow the kiss rule.anyways all is good I have a nice osage self as a back up if need be.

I really want a lam bow. They're pretty  ::) I like the idea of multiple colors. And ipe really impressed me with how strong it is. It sure goes bang! But a nice stick is great too. A lot easier for me to carve a stick than to glue up a bunch of stuff, someday I'll have the room and build the lam bow I've been seeing in my head. None the less I think whatever u send someone, they'll be happy.

Well, this one is getting well shot in by now, I think I may take a couple scrapes off the inner bottom third and then get to the sanding.
It's 44#28" - 1/2 inch of un-braced set
