My computer is acting funny and I had to keep coming back to this post a few times over the last few hours to get all the pictures to show. Now that I'm able to see them all I gotta say that is one nice bow Patrick.
Tricky looking stave with those limbs coming out of the handle at different angles. You turned out a killer bow from that piece of osage and the arrow speed is amazing to boot. Nice!
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Thanks Greg for taking the time to keep going back and looking at my post. It was a bit of a trick to tiller until I took a rag and draped it over the handle section. Then all I could see was the limbs. The hardest part was trying to make the bottom limb the "bottom" limb. With the shape of the handle, there was only one way to position the limbs.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it! Patrick

Super, super craftsmanship, Pat. Performance speaks for itself. Glad I had opp to shoot it. Looking forward to your next project.

Great work.  Those chrono numbers are pretty sweet.  Looked like a tricky stave.
