All done except buffing the shine off the tru oil finish when its fully cured in a few more days. Posted this one for a tiller check about a week ago and got some good advice, thanks for the help guys. Did just a little scraping and sanding to get it finished and shooting since then. Had a minor ring separation on the belly mid limb where the grain feathered near the edge, never seen that happen before. I filled it with glue, clamped it and did a few wraps of sinew and seems like it'll be good. I've put a little over 200 arrows out of it and it's a pleasure to shoot for such a short thing. Thanks again to my friend Jon W for sending me this osage already cut to length, he had more faith in my ability to turn out a true shorty than I did.
I'm enjoying this bow Jon.
