Hopefully the "coroners" won't be involved  :o

It will be another awesome bow I'm sure :)

Got the alignment fixed, I did manage a little shift at the grip. I've put a tad of reflex in.
I'll get some temporary overlays on, tidy it up and see how it flexes, maybe tomorrow.

Or maybe a moustache?

There is something about bending osage with heat.  It fights, fights, fights, then suddenly it says
LET'S DO THIS, MAN!

Looking good, Catman Dude!

Starting to flex

This is on a long string (only just long enough to slip on) about 55#, it's been tidied up a good bit.
Just having a look at the bend
I may put in a hint of deflex and reflex the tips some more. I think the weight isn't far off but I don't want to brace it until the tiller is looking good.

Coming along nicely, love the color on that wood , darker orange in the handle fading to yellow on the limbs. Must look amazing with the finish on!

Harumph  ::)... I think you'll find the inch symbol "  is directly above the 2 on the keyboard, so it's 19"
I've put in about 1" of deflex and I'll curve those tips a bit more this afternoon.
