Hickory backed osage

I would love to see your style bows that you have made with hickory backing and osage laminations.  Anyone care to share some pictures.

48 @28" Hickory backed Osage with KennyM wood and Mike Yancy skins. Actually only one skin came from Mike but is by far the better of the two.This is a board bow though.

Here's some pics from just today.  60" hickory backed osage, 1-1/8" wide, working handle, 60# @ 25", asym limb lengths, D shaped belly, holding 2" of reflex.  I've since added buffalo horn tip overlays and the first coat of finish is drying now.
