Thanks guys.

The bow I made with leopard print tissue I gave to Koan(Brian) last Christmas. It's a 60" osage static recurve that is 50% sapwood and 50% heart wood and a hard shooting bow.         Pat

Here is what she looked like when I first started. The back had been chased and the width was reduced to ultimate width but it's entire length.

She was pretty crooked, Bernie.    I have pics of the process. Maybe I'll post some of them to show the process.

Terry, Rawhide is amazing stuff. I use it when I have doubts about a bow's back. It has cool coloration on its own but I usually decorate it with snake skins or in this case animal print tissue paper.
   BLM, Give it a shot. We can talk you through the process. I consider most of my bows to be flat bows. I do make an occasional ELB style but mostly flat bows. I usually let the stave decide the shape although I have to hobble them first sometimes.       Pat

She shoots very well Chuck. This is thin ringed osage(about 30 to the inch) and I have been pleased with the results of this bow and others I made with thin ringed osage. I also heat treated the belly(I've just started doing this) and am pleased with those results too.     Pat
