T.J.
Very Nice bow.
Glad to see some bows are being made from Osage that I cut.
Did that bow come off the side of the stave from below the knot?
If so, there must be a another grown man bow in that stave as well.

Yes I have the other piece in the shed . It is waiting on me to get busy removing all it's excess body and reveal it's inner bow.

That is how I like to do it. I try to let the wood tell me what to do. I am a novice woodwhisperer. :-\

 Will post as soon as I get it done. Hopefully if weather holds I am shooting for new years. We will be layed off alot of Dec. I think I will only work 2 weeks next month.
Santa will be on a very tight budget. I will be making alot of gifts this year. Jewlery , bows, arrows, arm guards, quivers, wall hangings, decrative nik naks. That kind of stuff. Stuff I make anyways, but now I will be giving it as presents.

I just delivered the bow to the father and he was very pleased. I hope the boy has an even better reaction.
Now the father might want one come the first of the year. Two seeds planted with one bow. Good odds

thanks for the reply , nugget, the info you offered really got me off on the right foot, i find it interesting that folks get more excited about a bow they are making as a gift then a bow they are making for themself, if thats not part of the true spirit of trad archery then i dont know what is.....good medicine.
