That is just amazing work on a beautiful bow! The leather grip is super funky.

Do you use a gouge to tiller inside the limb, or something like sandpaper wrapped around a dowel?

In this case only the gooseneck scraper and sandpaper wrapped around a sponge

Somebody asked for the glue on the leather: it is simple super glue (didn't want to wait long)

All: Thanks again guys. I appreciate your nice comments!

Good job Simson. Love your work and you had no prob with that little piece of fire wood. I would have cooked me some porkchops over the campfire with that one. Sure makes me feel bad having to start a new bow with a really nice piece of osage to work with. Feels like I'm cheating,lolDanny
