Hey Eric looking pretty good. I agree with sulphur, top limb looks a little stiff. How much longer is the top limb than the bottom or is it just my eyes?

You did good Sir!! I was a little worried when I sent that stave to you but you did good my friend. David

You said it shoots like a dream... good dream or bad dream?  ;D From the looks of it, a good dream. Is this your first bow or just your first "Osage" bow, you done a good job on it fer sure. I do agree with the others about the top limb though.

Might put a few more scrapes on top limb, but shoots great, weight is pretty close to where I want. This forum makes the learning curve a lot easier. Thanks to all.

Good looking bow,nice character,Congrats. The top dose look a little stiff like others have said but with knotty Osage you can't always get a smooth bend all the way through,you just have to deal with it the best you can,and looks like you did. :)
