That one looks real nice! It sure has that osage color. Didn't I read that it was in the same family?

Lesken2011, it looks very much like osage, but seems less dense, and the rings are much thicker than any osage I have ever worked. I made the bow wider than when using osage also.

Nice job on the wiggly tiller! Looks like almost no set! How do you guys manage that?

Very nice bow and perfect tiller! Those rollercoaster bumps can be real boogers during tillering. Looks like you handled them perfectly.

Dunno how I missed this one......Wow, what a bend  8)  There doesn't seem to be an ounce of extra wood on that bow, and not an inch of extra length.  It is all bend and looks full of stored energy.  Very nice!
