Is that White Oak belly, Ipe back? V interesting.
I have a stave of tight ringed Osage from the Outlaw's monster tree, I'm wondering if that is good flight bow material, or is it just try it a and see thing?

Badger:
Del, I think i have gotten some from him off that same tree. I was very happy with it. I would say yes.
Del the cat:
Excellent... dunno what sort of design... I'll see what the wood suggests!

Badger:
Well this last one came out pretty nice, I tillered it out to 24" and it took just a whisper of set. I am going to bring it out just one more inch and call it good.

Steve,
You get these bursts of incredible energy like no one else. It is a lot of fun following your progress here. I hope this one ends up a winner for you!
These English longbows are so challenging for me too. It seems so wrong to create one for a flight shoot until I actually try shooting it.
