Red osage bow

I recently finished this bow up for somebody. Its from some dense red osage that I cut a few years ago. The grain lines really show up in it. The back is mostly concave and has some slight humps and bumps down the entire length. There is a small knot hole in it. This bow seemed to fight me all the way through the build. It's 66" long and 50@28". It is finished with 6 coats of tung oil. The tip overlays are bighorn sheep.

Nice job there, SpongeBob Shortpants!
Pretty overlays on the tips and a wicked profile, oughta have the performance that the appearance promises. Good stuff, as usual!

Very nice! Beautiful all around.
I guess that last osage I built was red and I really didn't realize it. I do now compared to the current one I'm building.
