Thanks everyone for the kind words :)!

PeteC- It was about 1/2" at one end beofe my father helped me run it through the jointer. I figured boo was light enough, and that Osage was good enough in compression, that leaving it thick wouldn't hurt. Sorta like Howard Hill's old bows.

Finnish Native- It draws 66# at 27", exacltly 10 pounds less than my own ELB pulls now. Another reason I felt encouraged to name them similiarly :).

Keagan,

great looking bow.  I would love to try one of those at some point this year. 

One question,  why not just thin the bamboo more prior to glue up?  What it because of the cutting of the tips? 

Anyway, great bow and keep up the good work.

I left the boo thick for two reasons: 1. I was using a thin Osage board, and wanted some weight from it, and 2. I really didn't know any better ;D.
