Awesome looking bow. I'm working my first piece of osage myself. Got some snakey character to the stave, wasn't sure what to do with the snakes from back to belly but I see your bow has some and I like how it looks so I'm gonna do my best to keep it in there.

  Very nice Job on that bow, I have been making my osage bows a tad wider as well. I agree with Eric, just a tad weak in the lower limb. Very nice work, looking forward to seeing more of your bows, I have a feeling their will be more. Steve

Good looking bow,Good idea on the lower limb ,but if it hasn't been shot much I would shoot it
some and check again,if it is still the same then I would do what Eric/Pat suggested. Very nice work.Looking forward in seeing more. :) :)

Bottom limbs are always the one to get weak, even after a bow has been shot in. I have chopped off an inch or so off a bunch of my bows bottom limbs over the years.

great looking bow good job.  the lower limb does look about a 1/4 inch or less off.  Nothing to worry about keep it the way it is dont alter it as others suggested. Beautiful, like the pin knocks

That is a fine looking bow! The hard work and patience are really showing through - very solid. But, If the lower limb is a problem, i'd be happy to take that bow off your hands   >:D
