This is my first character bow and first osage build.Special thanks to gstoneburg.this has been a tricky stave and when i flipped da tips one of em split and i had to shorten it an Inch and a half.hence the name outta whack,and the limbs are on two different planes,Pretty cool.

Ah, such a beauty with all those curves.  What a challenge to coerce into decent tiller!

Here it is unstrung, Braced and tillered to bout 15 inches.It has good weight i'm at 40 at 15 so i think my 55 goal is doable.Got some limb twist to take out then i will tiller it on out,hopefully round midweek or so.

Randy, that looks GREAT!!  You did that stave proud, and it wasn't an easy one.  That should spit the arrows out with authority.  Congratulations.  It is neat  to see what you did with that old, borer infested, crooked piece of wood.  I can see Parker is in very good hands with his bowyer training.  Can't wait for the finished pictures...and then the pictures with game...
