Looks like it fits you well Gabe, congrats man. I can attest to the quality of that bow since Paul let me fling a dozen or so out of her before dolling her up and sending her out your way. :) Sweet bow for sure.

Dang it.

Now every time I trim the stash I'm gonna think of tillering.   ;D ;D

   It is quite magnificent, and pretty hard to ignore. That's like saying "The purpose of our trip is to see the Pacific Ocean,.............. so just ignore all of those Mountains  between the prairies and the coast! " ;) Congrats on that beauty bow , Gabe!

Progress report.  Plan B  has been a slow grind.  Very challenging stave in a lot of ways.  Thin rings, high crown, knots on top of knots, but, I've made some progress.  66" x 1 1/2" Osage bendy handle.  14 inches on the tree.  Still heavy so I have plenty of room to even it up, though it's pretty close.  I filled 9 knots with CA glue.  They all run at odd angles thru the limb.  Two of them are on the belly edge, exiting the limb on the side.  Yuk!  Not visible from the back so I couldn't avoid them.  Stuffed them with sinew and filled with glue.  Sinew is probably not doing anything, but it's in there.  Pics below show one of them.  Seems to be holding up but we shall see.  Been a challenge.

This edit may be a mute point as this bow might explode into splinters before it's over with, but it appears to be holding up fine at this point and I think it will make a shooter.  Probably won't be the trade bow.  Just not real comfy with the voids.  Opinions sought and welcomed.

Well, that's not looking bad at all, Slimbob! I'm not part of the bow trade, but I would absolutely love to receive a challenging character osage stave. As long as it survives shooting her in, you shouldn't feel ashamed to send that to someone! Nice bend to it - knots and all.
If you're not on the short string already, now is the time to brace her.
