Ross, I made a 51" Osage bow my first go. Scraped it with a razor blade  :-\ 82#@28" I'm glad she didn't blow on me. Still got it. Haven't finished it yet lol. Just gotta round one tip. But it's almost like why bother?

You had me going for a sec or two. Almost had it buried 2 barbs deep, if you had just let me run with it before you set the hook you might have gotten me in the boat. I was looking at it and thinking " well, I don't know jack on R/D's but man look at the movement in those inner limbs, that can't be right, can it?"  I am really happy to know that I haven't completly lost my mind. Key word being completely.  :o Danny

I remember watching Gary's video the first time. He scratched on an osage bow a few minutes off the saw and popped a string right on it. I thought, "Man I wish it was that easy!". That tiny snippet in that video has driven me since. It can be that easy and is that easy! No magic dust, no secret bowyers sauce. Just lots of practice and paying attention to what experienced people tell me.

 Rattlestick, a selfbow tutorial by Gary Davis.  I must have watched it 20 times. It covers just about everything. A must watch for the beginner. Experienced guys will also dig it.
