Very nice bow for sure. You forgot to mention using it to fight off wild hogs too. :)

I thought we got into this to throw out all the crappy bells and whistles!  Send me that bow and even I can't complain!  Simple, elegant, functional, durable, and deadly....fills my grocery list.

Thanks all. Yes, there are many other uses - as mentioned, fighting off wild hogs - also snake stick, jack handle, wounded squirrel/rabbit bopper and many others.
I do love a bow with artful tip overlays, sinew, snake skins, nice handle leather, etc. But for in the field I like simple and unbreakable osage.

I really really like your bow!  Sweet tiller and nothing better than a nice piece of osage for a takedown.  Beautiful work man.  :)

Great bow, it's workin' pretty hard being so short, and then you spring the surprise with that last pic...
Excellent  ;D

Man, you shure have a gift when it coms to putting a beautiful bend to a piece of wood pr pieces in this case...did you pillar tiller this one as well being a takedown, i guess it would work the same ???
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

This is the epitome of wood bow making. Classic, simple, effective and beautiful.  I really dig it.
