Lee,

It looks great, how about some details on dimensions.

Width of the Osage, thickness, Did you pre-taper the Osage? I am going to attempt my first BBO in the near future.

Thanks Sean

Thanks guys.  Bluegill I didn't taper the bamboo but I flattened it to 1/8" on my father in laws jointer. It is 1-1/2" wide and tapers to 3/8" tips.  The osage I think I tapered from 1/2" to 9/16" at the tips prior to gluing. I used  tb3 because the unibond I ordered was half set up when I opened it

Really good, Lee, esp. at the shorter length.  I bet it is a snappy little shooter.
