Very nice bow Gordon,
 May I ask how high you are braced? I'm working right now on a bow with almost the same specs and trying to achieve the same lines. Again good job beautiful bow. Take care, Chuck

Thank you Ifrit.

Thank you for the compliment Lowell.

Thank you for your nice words Mikael.

What a nice thing to say Cody, thank you.

Thank you for the nice compliment Dean.

I’m pleased that you like the bow’s curves Cameroo. Thank you.

Thank you Bow Junkie.

Thank you Shawn.

Thank you Dvshunter – Osage is fine bow wood.

Thank you Blackhawk.

Thank you Tracy. The bow has quite a bit of early draw and does seem to put an arrow out there nicely.

Welcome back to Oregon John! I’m quite certain this bow could handle an elk nicely. I would love to do a road trip with you.

Thank you Keenan. I’m looking forward to seeing your vine maple bow. This bow holds about 2” of reflex. Osage seems to take hardly any set when you tiller it.

What a nice compliment gmc, thank you.

Thank you Will.

Hey George, thank you!

Thank you for the compliment Eric.

Thank you George.

Thank you Pat, I appreciate the kind words.

Thank you Chuck. The brace height on this bow is 5 ¾” – just enough to clear my fletching.

Thank you for the nice compliment Colt.

Thank you Mike.

Man, I awaited this one anxiously since you posted it was in the making, and yes, IT'S BEAUTIFUL! Love the 'nothing fancy' of it very much, so much beauty coming from the side profile, which is my favourite for a straight grained wooden bow!
