That's a really fine bow, Clint.  Those skins are beautiful.  Really like that color combination.  Nice!

Amazing bow--for sure! Question: that is a really neat tip/ nock. I'm new still to bow making and have been sticking to pyramid flat bows from boards. That nock would be great, I think, for thinner tips. What did you make it out of? Any tips for how to make 'em? Looks like there could be a risk of the string coming off--how would I prevent that? Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys. 

hurlbri1, I used big horn sheep horn for the tip overlays.  I've never had a string come off before.  They stay in the grooves.  I put an angle on the limb with a belt sander and then glue on the horn.  You have to make sure to get flat matching surfaces between the wood and the horn.  I use rasps and files to shape them.

Very nice short bendy Clint, you coaxed a sweet little bow out of that sliver of osage.

Oh man. I haven't look on this section of the forum in a long time. Man that thing turned out killer Clint! Sexy as hell.

You guys and your burning osage! Oh so many things I've made from osage people wanted to burn...

Man I'm glad I went to the bom voting page. You've been cranking em out and I missed em all. They all look awesome bud. 8) something about that profile on this one does it for me though. Excellent work.

Nice one Clint.  You seem to have been busting em out lately.  Love the bend on this shorty.

Thanks guys. 

Badger, this little stick of osage seemed very stiff when I started bending it.
