That is quite a big stick, and it's bending nicely, too. Good work!
Don't shoot!

Sweet bend on that one, and what a cool idea with the plugs ;)
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

That is a beautiful bow and the osage plugs really look good. But you be careful with that ERC. Scariest bow wood I have ever worked with. Dean

Sweet looking bow Ryan. I figured it was for your sister being only 80lbs.  ;)

You definitely made the most of that wood.  You starting to specialize in warbows?  You might want to specialize in orthopedics as well, just in case.

That is fantastic!  I love my ERC I made last year.  Great bow, great wood.  Your plugging idea is interesting.  Opens up a LOT more ERC.  I've always looked for a really clean piece, but it looks like you plugged holes in the back as well, and I'm guessing made a very smooth back before adding the rawhide.  That is a great idea.  Love the bow!
