My new "favorite" 55" osage (full draw added)

[Pat B]

Great little bow Shannon. 55" would be quite short for me, I guess I gotta try one now.  This bow WILL get meat this fall!!!     Pat

ps. Skins look good too!

[OldBow]

The tips got my attention on this one.  Nice job! Not to mention the tiller! Excellent work and bookmarked for June Self BOM.
I'd have named this fine weapon "ZOOM"

[AndrewS]

Great work Shannon!
Tiller is spot on and you did a fine detailed job on the rest. Compliment!

[NOMADIC PIRATE]

Surely a fine looking little bow

[Hillbilly]

SWEET!!! Shannon, you da man, don't see how you could improve on that. If you don't watch it, you're gonna fool around and learn to make bows one of these days. 

[GregB]

That's a fine looking bow Shannon...great job. I like the skins, have one myself from a roadkill and keeping my eyes open for a second one. Tips look really good as well! Like always, your bows define the statement..."attention to detail".

[Postman]

[Pappy]

That bow is perfect in all respects. I can see why you are fond of it. That one is going in my scrap book.

[Stickhead]

Man, that looks gorgeous to me.  I'm hugely impressed that you can get that weight out of such a short & narrow bow, without any significant set.  Great unbraced profile & tiller!

[FlintWalker]

Thanks very much guys!
 Hillbilly, you crack me up, but I don't know if I'd ever call myself a "bowyer"
 And Gordon, there's no such thing as perfect. But i'm flattered all the same.
 Just so everyone will know, I don't like this bow so much because I think it's any better than any other bow here on PA.  It's more because I consider it a gift from a friend.  I liked that piece of wood from the moment I layed eyes on it and was silently saying to myself "boy, I hope he gives me that!"  It was just begging to be a bow! 
 Stickhead, osage is some amazing stuff.  The main thing with any wood is making sure it's dry.  I like to get it down to 7.5-8% MC and never over 9%.    Thanks again,  Saw Filer 

[Staver]

I can see why you call it your favorite bow!!  It's beautiful in all respects!   I'd like to be able to shoot it.   Joe H

[Papa Matt]

Saw, much respect 'ol boy. How long did you have to season it?

[Justin Snyder]

Great looking bow.  It is nice to see a change in the tips.

Shannon I may have to plagerize this design I really like
