Im ready for sinew! One full width layer and one down the center. Its 60" ttt, 1 5/8" wide osage. I just glued the tips up, they are wenge from my ONLY Buckeye friend Guy;). The bow has about 4" of reflex with the tips flipped, but thats cheating. I plan to pull another 1-2" into the limbs with my sinew job. I havent braced this bow, but I think my tiller is dang close just by spying down a bent limb. OOOOOHHHHHH Im getting excited, I just love shipping bows out to unsuspecting folks!

Turtle, I've used super glue, both thin and gel, TBIII and 2 ton epoxy to put on buffalo and bison horn for overlays with good results.
  She's gonna be a sweet one Pearlie.
Gus, what species of dogwood it that? The bark doesn't look like flowering dogwood.
