Great looking bow Del.  I'm anxious to see what you do with that osage.
So am I !  :o ::) ;D
I'm thinking it might end up with Cip's snake skins on it :)

As requested, live full draw pic.
Lower limb looks short or nocking point low. Could be the angle of the pic as it was taken from a low angle.
Note a few snowdrops out in the raised bed beneath the espalier pear trees :)

Nice clean and simple. Looks great and the back of that HHB looks really nice. Good job.   Danny

Yeah Del, that's a fine stick. This new f/d pic does justice to the bow, much more than that impersonal machine pic.
I'm curious how you dess her up. Keep us posted.

Exemplary!

Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Gotta admit, I'm jealous of you guys having another classic coming up. I'd love to get over again one day... (I'll sneak off one year when Mrs Cat ain't lookin'  ;) )

Stick, HHB stands for Hop Hornbeam also called ironwood. It is not the same as American Hornbeem also called muscelwood, same family I think but not the same tree.

PS I use it as a first choice for the Native American bows that I make.

Thanks for clearing that up!  I love the colour of hop-hornbeam, been trying to get hold of some for a long time but none of my suppliers have any dealings with it.  :(
