Thank you guys.  To answer some questions.

Thanks Rand, Anne-Marie has no need of another flute right now but she may change her mind.  The cd is on hold for now because the recording is done in an abandoned silo, too cold right now.

The limbs are equal length.  I should have heat-treated the Osage though as it was cut in Southern Ontario and it doesn't have quite as good a compression strength as some other Osage I have used.

It's a BBO (Bamboo backed Osage) Brian.  The Bamboo is some that I got in trade from Robustus (James Parker).  Can't say I have ever seen Bamboo with nodes that widely spaced before.  Very nice stuff

Sweet, Mark!! Nice work! :)
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

I love it! Just one question how did you do your bolts is it really just one bolt per limb?

Cool bow. I like the limb bolts and profile.

It is one brass bolt and one brass locating pin per limb.

I think that tiller is very good. :-) I'm a great admirer of your bows. I've visited your homepage a lot of times. I've read your article in "Bowyers bible vol 4" a lot of times. I've seen the flightbow in hornbeam you made for "Kviljo" Kviljo is a friend of mine. Gretings from Norway.

Love the quality of your bows, the thing that most stands out to me is that I need to slow down. Very inspirational!

I love that unbraced profile. 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
