Thanks Arvin
George I did tell him. I have one other Osage bow that I won at raffle at Marshall last year. It's a bend through the handle birch Bark backed Osage bow. It was made by Greg aka Badly Bent. It has darkened nicely.
Thanks Leonwood. I wish I had more Osage here to. I did get some very small trees started in Ed's wife Robins greenhouse that I transplanted this past summer. Don't know if I'll last long enough to make a bow from one but time will tell. I've got some really crooked Mulberry that is a relative so I'm told. I know you've made some nice bows from Mulberry.
 Thanks Mike
Thanks everyone for looking

And now you know why Osage is the King of bow wood. Nice job with that one, Buddy.

Thanks Rob
Thanks Eddie, yes I certainly can see why this wood is "King". I very much enjoyed working with it.
Thanks so much for all the replies everyone. Really wasn't expecting so many nice replies from a totally naked bow. I guess it shows that people do still like a simple stick with a nice bend.
