This morning I stalked final tiller, rounded the limb edges, and cut the sight window!

Great looking bow. The buffalo tips and overlays look real good.

I got some more riser shaping done this morning.  Lots of sanding left now!

 

 

 

Here she is with an alcohol wipe to see the colors.

One of the best parts of building bows for me is taking the rough materials and building something smooth, finished and functional.  Great job finishing this one!

Very nice looking bow...do you do a lot of horn overlays?

Love Cedar lams!

Yep, you're on Josh!  Started playing this morning.  The osage is gonna work fine in a canine.  I'll start another "Josh's bow" thread if you want.

This is the fourth one I've used horn on.  I like it.

I really like the smooth almost glass finish the horn has when sprayed…I have some pronghorn antelope tips on my recurve (pic in my avatar)…it’s so smooth!

Heck yes I want to see the build!

I'm really excited to see how you work the Osage in.
