Clint, that's a looker. The fat osage looks great and your tillering is outstanding.
Makes me freezing seeing you with shorts in the snow ...

Thanks guys. 

20 degrees and snow is still shorts weather for me.

And yet I can't get him to come up here to hunt turkeys in the spring!  LOL

Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

When your turkeys grow antlers and back straps I'll head north.

wonderful bow! I've got a question for you on your finish, i use tung oil a lot on other projects, i wipe it on let it set for about 10 minutes then wipe it off with a lint free cloth. With your glossy finish, do wipe it on and leave it to dry without wiping off? It beautiful, thanks, Dan.

I used the low gloss tung oil.  I put a very thin coat of it on with a cosmetic wedge and let it dry.  I can get 2 coats per day on it.
