Thanks everyone for the very kind words.  I just want to point out again that those obsidian points were knapped by Scott (Stringman).  I only dream of being able to knapp like that!  I really do enjoy hafting them.

Nice backdrop of yew logs.  You threw that in just to tease us huh? 
Gabe

Gabe, wasn't my intention to tease you with the yew logs backdrop... I just couldn't find a surface in the backyard that wasn't covered with yew logs  ;)

Very nice bow and arrows tiller looks dead on,did you leave the sap on or is it backed with rawhide or something.  :-\   
   Pappy

No backing or sapwood on this puppy, Pappy.  I think it is just the light in that one pic, that looks like it has a whitish backing.

Nice job on that bow Carson.  I like seeing yew guys posting osage bows. 

I like the car in the background.

Thanks Clint.  One day at the range with 4 other Oregon bowyers, I suddenly realized that we were all shooting Osage bows... so yeah, I guess we like the stuff  ;D

That is the neighbors car.  A 1934 Hut mobile  8). 

Thanks again everyone for the very nice comments.

Fun, huh?  haha  Got to have something to look forward to.  The problem with this piece of osage is it is straight and no pin knots...kind of boring for someone with your skills.  But somehow I think you two will get along just fine!

Bows like this are why Primitive Archer Magazine needs a centerfold.  'Nuff said.
