Awesome

Holy moly, I swear I made this exact bow with a slightly different grip and pass from BL a couple weeks ago :o ???

Same profile, same bend, same recurves, same shape overlays, only a touch lighter and half an inch longer... I mean what the heck? I didn't even post it, how'd you do that?

I bet it's an awesome shooter ;D ;) Great work man!

That's a great looking bow.  When it comes right down to it, all things considered, that's the kind of bow that I would take hunting.  That ought to do him good for years to come.

Shame on him if he doesn't favor that bow over his compound,  that osage bow is just pure nice. Great work.

If that doesn't convert him, I don't know what would. He will probably fall in love with archery all over again once he gets his hands on it.

stickman, can I be your friend too?  ;D ;D
We don`t have Osage around here so I`m always drooling on such nice Osage bows....

BTW, what is that framed thing titled "BOWMAKING" hanged on the wall in the 3rd picture? Do you have a bowmaking diploma ??? ;D ?

Thanks for all the kind words, fellas.  I keep hitting the same basic design, hoping to get it right.  They're improving little by little.

Arachnid: That Bowmaking poster is an old-timey summary of bowmaking I found -- kind of a condensed TBB.

Huisme: Looks like we're on the same wavelength!
