Nice!

Do the tools see any use? I'd be afraid to use them I think.  Is the bow backed with something or was the sapwood left on the osage? In the pic it looks more like yew with the dark belly and light back.

The bow was a piece that is from a stave I split down. I couldn't just junk the little piece. It is sap wood you see there.
Tough little bow. I have used the atl atl. Not to good with it yet.It is the top of a broken bow.
Thanks guys.

My eldest daughter has a bow I made her from a piece removed during the creation of my osage bow. I called it sliver it pulls 28# at 15". Fast little bugger.

The big ax is a war ax. The smaller is agrarian .
