Thank you gents...:)

Forgot to mention this was a milestone bow for me...and one that proved one of my own theories wrong...I always thought the more reflexed or recurved you made a lever the more mass you would have to add to it for it to be laterally stable.....well guess what...that ain't true at all....these tips are just as small and narrow, and same dimension as I would've made a straight stiff tipped molly....I have learned why this feat is possible and I'm keeping it a secret >:D  :laugh:

Boy I thought that last Osage flipped tip was one of the prettiest bows I have seen till I saw this one.  Do you steam the curves in or use dry heat?  Nice job!
