looks like you did that piece of Osage justice.  Very nice work!  -josh  :)

That's very nice. Hope my first yew bow comes out as well but hoping there will not be an L in the word bow for this one.

Well done.

That is a very nice bow. It might be your first attempt with Osage but now I bet it won't be your last. A fantastic bow wood. Thanks for sharing.

You live in the center of osage country...... ::) if I were you I'd probably wouldn't touch anything but yeller wood.  ::)
Nice job, I like to round my edges a bit more,gives less of a place to pull a splinter along the edge of the limb, also in the grip area where its mostly just for comfort and esthetic's. All and all a great job for your first though. Looks like you nailed the tiller.  ;D
Its November, I'm gone hunt'in.......

Thanks again guys for the nice comments.

Ryano:
That's what folks keep telling me with where I live but I haven't been able to locate one yet. Guess I'm not looking hard enough. ::)  Thanks for input on the bow, I should have ask for more in the post. I usually start with a more rounded corner but during tiller the edges seem to block back up on me. I will certainly keep that in mind for the next one. I had to feel my way around with this one. Eyes wide open on the next. Who knows, the next one may be a super-delux model.  ;D
