Really Nice Bow John!! And if you find any Osage around here that isn't tight ringed....you let me know!! All of this Texas Panhandle Osage is really small ringed

Thanks everyone. This is the best bow to date that I've made, IMO.

Mike, I do have some thick ringed Osage I've cut around here, but it's few and far between. We usually get around 1/2" more rain per year than you do.lol

Super bow!!  I wish I could do recurves that well.  All of mine seem to lift up splinters off the belly.  This is one beautiful weapon.  Great tiller, color, tips, everything.  You should be very proud of it.
