That's just plum purdy. I really like that profile. Got plenty of rat snakes round here, good idea.

Very nice indeed.  Looks like you used some heat on the belly

Very nice Jeff, i would like to work some plum some day.
P.S. I have been looking over that Narley osage stave and I think I have a plan of attack.

Thanks again everyone. It's really fun to shoot these zippy little bows.  (SH)

Marc, I did indeed use heat on the belly. I basically tillered until I had an even bend somewhere around 45# at 25", then heated in the reflex and added sinew. After a month or so I retillered to adjust the weight and even out the bend and that was about it.  :)

Glad you like her Bob. I can't wait to see what you come up with on that osage stave. I know there's a sweet shooter in it or I wouldn't have sent it to ya.  ;)

That bow is too cool...looks like it's in it's natural environment sitting in that tree.  You have some talent.
