This is a narrow osage bow I donated last summer to the Powder Creek Shoot. I don't remember the weight but I believe it is about 35#@24"

Hey dismount , God willin I will be at OJam.
 I have a couple pieces of osage that are real skinny that I have been think about doing an ELB with, but since I haven't done any ELB's yet I was'nt sure what to do with them. After seeing the flatbow PatB did I am encouraged that at least one of these slivers will be a flatbow. Good thread.    Danny
