Amazing look!
Oh, yeah, bow seems to bend kinda nice too.

Nicely done Bill, thats a great looking feather backed osage bow. You made the process look easy but I'm sure there is a learning curve for getting those feathers to lay down and look that good. This post will likely save some of us that frustration when we go to do this for the first time.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

I bet that's one of those bows that looks great in pictures and even better in person. I can just imagine when the sunlight hits all those colors!

Thanks again for the nice comments.....it's really not that hard to do. Just a few little issues to deal with along the way.
If anyone has any questions before they start one just drop me a line, be glad to help,  if I can.
