Whoo eee, nice bend in that Osage, what king of snake is that, I like it.

Good job on that bow! Those timbers are nice as well Did you black the back of the bow before you applied the skins?

[razorsharptokill]

Thanks guys! That is a timber rattler skin. No I just sized the back with TBIII then applied the skin.

I'm not sure if the bow is already finished at this point, but that right midlimb is stiff. It could really benefit from a little scraping, with maybe only one pound weight loss.

Those skins are cool! Looks great to see them stop right before the tips start. The bright osage now pops out on the back.

Good tiller man. Maybe little more softening of outer half of right limb but it is good and without that.

What others have said on mid right limb ,beautiful finish work,nice job.

Very nice indeed.  I've also gotta pair of Timbers that I'm saving for a special bow.  Looks like she'll definitely bring home some meat.

[razorsharptokill]

Yes, I saw that too. I corrected that stiff spot before it was finished. This bow shoots really well. Thanks for all the praise guys.

I've been splitting Osage like a mad man lately. My right wrist is a little lame now because of it. Swinging a 2lb sledge hammer hitting wedges for 10 staves will do that. LOL.
