Belly looks toasted, did you heat reflex into it?

No temper, just streaks in the wood. I started with about 2" of heated reflex and have about 1" now.

Love this one P.D.!

Been chasing out a bunch of Osage lately, while I bend this Dogwood Trade Bow into shape.
After that is done I think an Osage Molly using this design is next.
It will be my first Band Saw Bow!

Thank You for sharing!

Turned out great! The carp skins look sweet- I really like how you positioned them.

Great bow - but I guess you already know that....
I'm guessing no handshock at all? The stiff and light outer limbs make these GREAT shooters in my opion - no room for handshock :)

What a looker pd...on a side notewhat is the diff. between a molly and a holme. I have one like that in hickory and i am confused on what is what, i know it explains it in tbb vol? Pg? But might as well ask here :D
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

You done yourself proud Pearly !!!!!

Good job my Friend !!

I have been chasing electricity and ice lately
there is wood down every where whole trees ripped out of the ground
No energy left to look to see if any of it is anygood !
I trust all is well up north since all your power trucks are down here helping out it was great to see them arrive !
Take care and keep it up !!
