Wow! Thanks all for the nice words. O:) I guess I forgot to mention that the wood was Osage. I guess I take that for granted. :-\ I sometimes forget that others on here are not as lucky as some of us in the fact that we have great bow woods just outside our back door. Albeit full of knots.

This piece, (although with many challenges) was fairly simple to build. I feel compelled at times to post up such stuff maybe for the inspiration to some of the novice builders who frequent these pages. Kinda a "Don't be afraid to grab a knotty twisted up piece and give it a go" Just because it looks daunting. Even the worst looking piece, has a bow in it ...somewhere?
 ;)

Thanks again.

And thank you for that!!  It's very inspiring and motivational to see what can be accomplished.

Stunning bow - perfect tiller - looks like it could strain spaghetti too, if you get caught without a collander ;)

Thanks for sharing Tim.

After seeing the pictures, my neighbor at MoJam showed me that stave as he was taking it to you, we had a good laugh. I figured you would get a bow out of it, but it is way better than I had envisioned. Incredible!!   I would like to see his face, when he sees it.
Beautiful job!!
