Thanks , it's osage , when I started it took some heat and clamps to get it staight .
String lays just off center of the handle but there is no twisting when it is drawn , I can flip the bow over and shoot it right handed , I tryed left handed but broke one arrow and chaced the other arrow down a few times before taking it to my brother to shoot.
He has brought me over a dozen rattlers so far , there are a couple pigmy rattlers also , he had showed me some pics of the rattlers they killed a couple years ago and I asked if he would throw them in an old ice chest with ice and bring them back for me, he freezes them when him and his hunting buddies get them , they also know a guy that is a snake wrangler and swapped some reloaded amo for some skins , some of them are well over 60" long .
Before I started building bows I'd see copper heads every where , now I don't see them as often , I have friends and family that call me or bring snakes to me when they get them , mostly black snakes and usually with a few large bulges in them ( nobody likes a chicken theif).
The staves I've been working with lately are the ones I offer for $20 and nobody buys them , this is one of those staves , I have a bunch of staves for billets and I plan on sinking some of them in my pond , I saw another set of billets that came out after 10-15 year soak and love the way they look , but they do smell like a cow pile when you work on them .
