Thanks again guys.

Yes Limey it is. I am amazed at how durable and resilient it is. I know there are other fine bow woods out there and really look forward to trying some. It kind of reminds me of the cattle rancher that eats steak all the time and has heard theat chicken is good too but hasn't ever tried it. Thats kind of how I feel with Osage. It's very common in these parts although good straight osage is not common anywhere, so there is always the pursuit of finding and harvesting some whenever the chance arrises. I think I need to make one more run for this year but not sure if I'll get the time with hunting season in full swing. Gonna have to get that lil bugger out and see if it can make meat. On second thought, I don't think there is any doubt that it will, the question is will I.  Danny

Great looking bow.   I REALLY LIKE  the nocks.   Very sculptural and practical at the same time.
