Nice looking bow Bub. Curious choice with the Osage at the tips. I thought the whole point with George's Osage and cedar experiment was to make the tips of a super light wood? Awesome looking combo though!

Nice job! Really intriguing the way a second wood can be spliced in.

no, no sinew, i'm waiting on my ishi bow, that's the one with sinew, I may have to add a belly lam on this one as it's just bending to much in the middle

Very cool. Osage bends so easily that this would be a good idea for woods that aren't as compliant. I'd need to work on the cleanliness of my splices before attempting that. Thanks for sharing!

Heck yah bub, use osage so it matches your spliced in tips.
