Outstanding work, Bryce! I really like your style. Top notch finishing work, but with the utmost respect for the wood itself. The snakeskin adds a nice touch, without covering the entire limb and thus hiding the beautiful character.
I thought you had osage in Oregon, but didn't need it? Apparently the guy you build this one for thought he needed it!

Very nicely done! With those holes you can use it to straighten arrows and pop tops on bottles :D

It's always a pleasure looking at your bows Bryce! Except it's all bumpy and squiggley and has holes in it. Ucky-poo.  ;)
