Nice work on that osage, a piece like that would give me fits tillering but you worked it out very well. Some awesome bows are made in Tenn., gonna be real nice finished up..... oh and those tips sure are some pretty wood.

I see, now that I understand. I took a bow to the classic that just didn't seem right and Will straightened me out right away. My string alignment was way off and for some reason I just didn't want to see it. Anyway I took it home, added a little heat and now I am very satisfied with the results. Having another set of eyes is a big help.
