Looks awesome. Hopefully the Osage I got from Fred magically turns out as nice!

Super work there Fred. Bub looks like a "natural" for you in the draw pic.

First of all I'd really like to thank all of you for such great support and praise of the bow. Bubby seems to make that bow stand out and his pictures are sure a lot better than the ones I tried to take of it.
Another thing I'd like you to know is that without PA and all of it's fantastic members, which include all of you that have posted comments so far and many more, there is no way that bow would have come to be.
While struggling with the tillering process on this same bow PD made a comment about how to proceed with the tiller to get better results and after reading his comment a light bulb just clicked. I felt like I was finally beginning to understand what you'd all been trying to teach me all along.
I learned more from this bow trade than any of the other bows I've ever made. It really was hard to send this one off. It may not have been my best shooting bow to date but I can't argue with it being the purdiest. >>----> Fred
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.
