That is a fine bow and the tiller looks great. Should last you a looooong time bubbly.

Sure glad you like it bubby. I had a hard time deciding which bow to send. I worked 3 of them up and it was #2 that got the call. The osage was from Eric Bartels from Tecumseh, NE.  It was from a downed half dead tree and the staves had some worm damage but nothing that couldn't be worked with. You can see a spot on the upper limb that was filled with osage/urac. Hope it lasts you a long time but that you still see fit to shoot it now and again.

Wow, thank you all because I worried over it continuously.
Pat, I received only 2 of those from Eric about 3 yrs ago. The wood I sent you was from a local deputy sheriff whose father-in-law is located close to the same area. They cut this wood for me from the same general area close to the Missouri River. I was just lucky to get this new stuff and most of it will be saved on my rack for seasoning . There's a lot of red streaks in this new batch and only a few pieces will be sent away LOL.  I can't find any osage around here though I hear there are some areas where it has been found.
