Damn!! Nice save! That looks really good. Nice job on the tip flips and SS backing. Hey, Oldbow, does it qualify for BOM?

Wow - Nice bow.  I like the recurves, and those tips turned out great! 

Maybe I missed it, and I'm certainly too novice to tell from the pictures, what type of wood?

Thankyou for all of the compliments they mean alot coming from bowyers of your caliber.  I get inspired from looking at your work.

To Big Wapiti   the wood is osage that I dyed with a light coat of Walnut Aniline dye to dampen the yellowness and then tru oiled.

To Oldbow     I appreciate the offer of being bookmarked for BOM but since it was a blank I don't think it would be right.  Much of the work was done by Gary Davis.  I'll be starting my first bow from scratch this weekend maybey if it comes out good it could be a candidate.
