I always look forward to working on that "board straight" stave that's drying in the corner.  But I am usually the proudest of the bow that came from left-overs.  Nice work!

Wow! Simson, I really admire your work.  That looks like a serious hunting weapon you saved from the scrap pile.

Nice job on that tricky little stick. Just goes to show why Osage is the king. It's tuff to find a piece of Osage to call junk.    8)

Beautiful bow! Like that color and grain look in it. Those curves sure add to it as well.
