Looking good Ed it always amazes me how pliable hedge is I'm watching this one very similar to the one I'm working on if it's any thing like your wiggle bow ought to be a great shooter !

Hard to believe it's the same bow! Osage is indeed amazing how it lets you reshape it, almost like clay. I made a D/R osage bow that started out looking nothing like the finished product. Wish I had taken pictures of it from the beginning.

This one looks great. Keep us posted! :OK
