Everything looks great.  I never knew black locust would come out looking so much like osage.  I figured it would be much browner.

nice bow,very thin tips :o 8)

question on them tips.
the photo that shows the side profile of the tips,looks like your
string groove goes all the way through the overlay and the back is angled,arent you afraid that
the tips will snap or is it just an illusion that the groove is all the way through

just curious,still like the bow

                                                                          peace,

Nice bow! I Want to try black locust too and I have one cut along with an oak. I  also have a honey locust spied out too.  Your bow is inspiring to say the least. Thank s for showing it.

Thank you all for your nice comments.
The tips are not all the way through the limb.

great looking bow ...I just made 3 of them this last week with some friends. They turned out great. My staves were about a year old . Is this your first locust bow ? keep bending those sticks.. by the way nice horn tip overlays.
