looks perfect to me!
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Thank you toomanyknots!  You might think it looks perfect but trust me, it's knot, LOL  ;D

Thank you Jesse, it's nothing compared to the beauty of your last bow.   ;)

Thank you Scott.

Thanks Barrage   ;D

Thank you Parnell.  It took a year... most of it's time during that year was spent brooding in the corner though..  (the bow, not me  ;D )

Thank you very much Frode!

Outstanding job on that Josh.  I'm almost finished my first stave bow and I have a new appreciation for the skill level it takes to make a bow like this.

Sweet Bow  Josh...and the only time they are a waste of time...is when they are sitting in the Corner...even if you break one...it wasn't a waste of time...if you learn from it....JMO...keep it up....that one looks great

Now that's one nightmare stave that turned into a dream. Well done, I know that dude had to take some time to work with.

Excellent.

Great job on a scary stave! I've never tried osage yet but I definitely would want a few under my belt before I tried one like that. Awesome!
