PatM, I took your advice and used the edge rings and I'm really happy with the results!!
It's been awhile because I've been busy with other projects. A lot of bows in the works and have finished up three, two of which were wedding gifts for a young friend and his new bride. Another for one of my grand daughters. Fist pic is the wedding bows.
I ended up using red cedar for the extensions. I added deer antler for overlays and may knock the size of them down a bit. I've only shot 1/2 dz arrows through it and am amazed at the speed.
I'm going to add a wrap of sinew at the extensions, stain the red cedar, add a couple of arrow rest to the sleeve, do either jute or leather for the handle wrap and finish it off with true oil.
Thanks again for all of you guys help. I'll be showing a snakey osage take down when I get it floor tillered.
