I love the concentric sapwood rings moving out in the fades. Something so completely gorgeous about that.

I really like what you did with the sapwood on both the tips and grip. Great looking bow!

Gorgeous Bryce.What do ya mean surprisingly quick.....LOL.Cool way to incorporate something different with the sapwood left on and your handle work really sets it off nice.That's why those Indians that made and shot hedge could double as weight lifters......LOL.

That's a sweet looking curve. I really like the sapwood looks too. I have made six osage sapwood bows and really likethe contrast after they darken. The deep red and cream colored white looks awesome . Congrats. On the new bow.

Yeah I heard osage was a little slow, I haven't shot it through the chrono yet we'll see how it does :)

Bryce great work! I want to bring my O66 STHIL down for that maple...at least it looks like a burled up maple. ;)
