That sure is a beautiful sight.  I love seeing the variation in color there.  Drooling on the keyboard

Damn OJack, you've been busy......those are beauties. What, are you teachin a class or something...or just mass producing lots of Osage bows?

200? 100 in a month? Thats 3 or more a day.......Amazing.  Sure you don't have some sort of machine that's cranking them out? ;)

I'm impressed.....

Man.  We do not have that kind of osage around here to get that many in a life time.

Good thing you can always buy one from OJ Charlie. He has plenty for sale as you can see.

Yeah so I see.  Guess I need to go check all the parking lots around town and pick up some change.  If I was rich enough to buy them Pearly, I would and be working on bows daily like you and blackhawk and a few others.  Just love seeing a pretty pile of orange wood, no matter who's it is.
