Well done! Always like the pith groove on Osage saplings and limb bows.

nice bow!

I don't know the Sonny that y'all are referring to.....
I use "sonny" here as a remembrance of my Dad (also Sonny)

sonny , Sonny was a legendary limb bow builder from the past ,he build some of the nicest looking and shooting limb bows I have ever see.He was featured in PA back in the early days of the magazine .Those that knew him miss him a lot. He  also designed the 1/4 inch field tip,the kind that are on a lot of kids arrows today . He passed a few years back. :( He was a class act. :) Very nice on Matt to jog my memory of him. :)
