That is a sweet bow.  I love the bend, and that natural swoop at the arrow pass....perfect.  That to me is an ideal longbow.  Love those specs.

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

I'm a newbie to this but I can see how beautiful your bow is.  How dry was the wood before you started?

Thank you all. This bow does shoot fast and I owe a thank you to burn um up chuck for that. He sent me my trade bow and I noticed something immediately. It was the string, he did not use  b50 like I had been using. I went out and bought more modern string material and have been making new strings for all my bows, the difference is pretty significant.

The wood was just cut in may. The guy who gave me the osage wants a bow from one of the trees I took from his yard, it is dry but not well seasoned.

Very nice indeed. Good looker and has a smooth bend at full draw, gotta be a pleasure to shoot that bow.

Nice work man, I like the bend and the handle wrap.  All around nice bow!  Is it heavily rounded or just ovalish, can't tell from the pics
