Outstanding bow! Beautiful tiller and overall confirmation. Love at first sight!
With a fine osage selfbow, my elkhide quiver filled with cedar arrows fletched with turkey, and with the invitation of the forest, I am about as happy as a man can be.

That is one beautiful bow!  Those horn overlays are so delicate. Well done!

Thanks again.

i know this hasn't been talked about in a while, but how would you install cow hoof overlays, would the type you get at the pet store be fine to use
thanks

The overlays are great, and I love bows with just a little reflex in the tips.
What an awesome bow great Job!!

 That bow is one of the most gracefull, smoothest, fast looking bows I've seen here in awhile. SWEET!

That's a great example of a classic osage selfbow. I just love a bow like that.
