Good looking bow, looks ready to make meat. You did a fine job on it.
Had a chance to do any work on that osage yet?

thanks guys i made the arrows too for the bow. i am ready to start the osage steve. i got it down to one ring now i have it by my fire to dry before bending it.(its rainy outside this week)   did i mention the ash bow has 28  :o  yes 28 holes from worms in it. they go right through the limbs. i saw them when floor tillering and said what the heck if it blows up in my face its a learning experience  ::).  i am calling it worm hole i think. any creative names on your part.  anyways are there any tips for spining arrows for such a thick handle, the arrow  when in resting position is deflected like 3 inches at the tip from the handle shoul i spine them lower to let it pardoxx better. 45 punds at 28 inches

thanks guys

28 bug chewed holes completely through the limb?  Does the limb look like lace?

Amazing what some guys will do to reduce the drag of a bow limb pushing through the atmosphere.   I guess that would be 'arrow-dynamic' .  Does it whistle when ya shoot it?
