Thanks Jawge. You've given me a lot of help.
in da u.p. Thanks-- I rubbed some oil on the wood and used a heat gun to take some propeller twist out and to align the tips. Also cooked the belly a bit to stiffen it up. Thats a real brief description there is a bit more to it but not much :)  Im about 40min south of menominee MI.
Thanks Koan

Wow! What everyone else has said too. That is a beauty. I'm working on an Osage recurve right now and was thinking about dying it with Rit. I think you've talked me into it now. Does Osage take dye well?

Good job Jesse.  Nice lookin' bow!  I'm sorry about your friend.  I went through that last May.  I had to put my Ol' Wilbur down.  Funk is right.  Again, very good job!

Every time I think I may have a chance, some Troll comes along and screws it up!  ;)  Incredible bow Jesse. The tiller, the color, the finish...and she was definitely seduced into the beautiful bow she is.    Pat

Beautiful bow. I think mapel is my favorite wood! I am assuming that it is hard maple. Thanks for sharing it with us.
