Beautiful bow as usual, ;) I love the way you left the sap wood in the handle area with the worm hole tracks, at least I think that is what that is ? if not it looks good any way , if it is it is even cooler.  :) The finish work is exceptional in all aspects.  :)

Classy looking bow. Very well done. I like those hollow limbs, too.

That’s a stunning bow.  That must have been a challenging build.  You executed it well.   Very nice indeed.

thanx guys!

actually the good thing about osage is you can make any bow from a nice piece - along the way it will talk to you loud and and precisly, guiding you the way to the desired result. never you have to be afraid it would let you down. Every time I make a bow from it I'm astonished in how strong and tough this wood is. I will remain a yew-fanboy but osage is unbeatable in these aspects imho.

thanks Pappy - alomos forgot about the wormhole accents   :) I will call it "wormhole" from now on.

it's not full hollow limb PaSteve - only tillered with the goosneckscraper and a little extra-scallopped towards the grip. I'd say when a rectangular cross section is best for a flat back, this one is best for a slightly crowned piece of wood.

cheers

Great looking bow Simk, as usual. Every time you post a full draw picture I always find myself looking at the landscape in the background and thinking, this guy has a great view out his window.
Love the character in that bow.

Good looking bow tried and true design. Doesn't look like it took any set, that seems to be the best determiner of performance, other features being equal.
