Thanks guys! Your gettin me all fired up to finish another :). Brian, you were posting while I was trying to download more pic's - that was quick :D. Ricktrojanowski (Man that's hard to spell) those snakes are generally three feet and longer (depending on how many eggs they steal ;)).
  Dana: Next one will definantly be stronger - don't think the wife will shoot this one much but she thinks it's purty :). Want to thank you Marc for the input - I used your fine tune method to line up the tips on my next one and it's STRAIGHT ;D - learning a little at a time. Thanks guys!!

Nice curves and tiller, Paul. How much do the arrows weigh? that could be why its slow.    Pat

 Beautifull Cowboy, Looks mighty fine to me, seems we are always our own worst critics. I like the dark skins, they add alot of contrast with that yellow osage. Should be a strong contender for BOM.    Keenan

i'm really impressed, cowboy.  it's not that long ago, you were asking beginner's questions about tillering and look at your workmanship now.  sinew backed, snakeskin covered, recurve bows.  you entered the champions class with this beauty.  i like the tips and the handle in particular.

Holy cow! :D. Thanks guys! I like that recurve look too - next one is 60" long and will thump them arra's out there a little better. I'm determined not to over-tiller any more :).
 Pat: I just weighed those arrows - they came in at exactly one oz each, that was the three good shooters I got out of the dozen I made.
 Hey Marius - haven't heard from you in awhile, How are things? Thanks for the compliments - the last fourteen months have been quite a learning experience.
 I thought that shadow was cool too :).

Very phantanstic bow as the arrows, too, Cowboy!
But allow a personal idea: although I`ve made 2 bows with an arrowrest attached in the grip by cutting in. I don`t like them very much, but made them, because I`ve made another composite with Osage/ Bamboo/ and a dark nutwood. And this is not the design, the way I call primitive. But this is as I said, my opimion.
