Thanks guys. 

20 degrees and snow is still shorts weather for me.

And yet I can't get him to come up here to hunt turkeys in the spring!  LOL

When your turkeys grow antlers and back straps I'll head north.

That's a nice dense piece of osage there, and the earlywood/latewood ratio is fantastic. It should make a good hunting bow.

I like your attention to detail. The handle lacings are tight and even. The limbs flow into the horn tips. The reflexed tips are reflexed just enough but not too much.

Very well done.

Good looking Bow.
Was the red osage harder to work?

But Are you standing in the snow with shorts?

It worked about the same as normal osage.  Maybe just a touch harder.
