Glad it arrived in one piece. Hope it serves you well.  I'm not used to stretching draw out to 29" so I hope I got it shot in well enough for the tiller not to shift. I've been shooting it since sometime in April.....it even made the trip to the Tennessee clasic to get a few arrows through it. Sure has been a pleasure to participate in this trade.

It's been a while since I've posted my progress .
#55 lb @ 28" Osage, sinew backed & cover w/ western Diamondback.
I still need to seal it & wrap the handle.

Don, the sinew backed osage looks fantastic and I'm sure it will be well received and a shooter. Thanks for posting.

Im glad you're enjoying it. That's the first time I ever tried vine maple, but I sure hope its not the last. Its a lot easier to work than most of the woods I ever tried and I was impressed with its flexibility.  Gonna have to find me some more of that.

This one's going out this week, she is done.  I want to send a few more arrows through her just because I'm not quit ready to send her away.  Been a lot of firsts; first self bow, first Osage bow, first sinew bow, first character stave, first bow swap.  I hope my target enjoys it.  Fred, I will send you a tracking number when it goes out.
