I'm just finishing a kid's bow up for my school's fundraising auction and then my trade bow will have my full attention. I already have a flawless osage stave bending and floor tiller stage and ready to rock!

Yes sir, got a fine piece of yeller wood from rps3!  I couldn't wait till i got back home off work and convinced the wife to let me take my boy and my new bow out for a test run.   She really packs a punch (the bow ;) ) and flings an arrow with authority.  Dead quiet and no shock to speak of.  And boy some beautiful curves!



Pics don't nearly do this little lady justice, but here's some more:



I didn't get pics of the tips (i was in a hurry, but he's gottem posted a few pages earlier), but Bob did some very fine tip work on this baby with overlays provided by Pearl Drums.  Antler I'm guessing? ???  Whatever they are they're beautiful.

And the obligatory bent pics:





Well again a fine job done on this one, she certainly exceeds expectations!! 

So Bob you said you cut the tree from a golf course Arnold Palmer used to play? Somehow i have a picture in my mind of a guy with a osage log over his shoulder and a saw in the other hand, running from the grounds maintenance dudes to his getaway cart >:D.  If there's not a funny story there, you can always make one up ;)
