Went back and worked on the tiller a little more. May not look all that great but shoots pretty good. Lost a few pounds so I shortened it a couple inches. In the process of flipping the tips now. Last one is cooling down as I post this. Here are a few more pics

Well fellas what do you think?This was my first attempt at an osage bow.The stave was narrow and twisted to start with.No matter which way i turned it the handle and the tips would not even come close to fitting on the cull at the same time.But i wanted to build something unique/with character for the trade.With alot of heat,clamps,and wedges I finally got the string to cross center of the handle.Sorry you may not be able to see the snakes and bends on the pics.Took pics with cell phone.oh ya thats my first string too(the one with the silencers).It took me the took biggest part of the afternoon to figure that out.Not to pat my self on the back but it looks as good as any string ive bought,better than some.The string makes me as happy as any part of the project.I was shooting for 66.5"long 50#@28.It came out 66.5" long 45#@28.Thats my Dad shooting in the pics.He says it shoots where you look.Arrows touching all most everyime at 15-20 yards(about 250-300 arrows through it so far)He says its soft in the hand also.(I was worried about hand shock due to the ornate upper limb tip)It shows no sign of stress and it took next to no set when unstrung i feel bad missing the weight I was very carefull.Do you guys think it looks fit for the trade.I feel bad sence the person requested 50#@28".But this is such a neet bow i would like to give it to the pearson i built it for.If not ill try another closer to july.due to unfortinate events I can not build or shoot for quite a while.I thought about sendig this one with a promise of a sending another latter 50#@28" in the year when i am again able to build and shoot and have a little more osage building expirence.and sorry for the long winded post.

I have mine all finished up, the finish is curing on it right now and I think I will get it wrapped up and shipped this weekend. It's a long one..69" and I hope the new owner likes it. The riser wood was given to me by the gentleman who taught me alot about making bows...I think it is Shedua, The back is Bingham's carbon fiber and I used whitetail antler for the tips. I also experimented a bit using core-tuff glass right underneath the back and belly laminates which I think looks kind of cool. Hope you enjoy it Mr. ___________.
