Here are a few more. The money shot is still a few days away until a second hand is here to help.

Very nice as always DVS....those skins really set it off nicely!   :thumbsup:  

I'm assuming that there's no ring chasing on the sapwood and I've peeled/pryed/and cussed some of that ironclad sapwood off many times from staves that I left it on, so it stands to reason that it would make a good bow backing. Let us know how she holds up and shoots.

Very nice DV....  using the sapwood is there a difference in the way it shoots? The contrast on the edges looks cool!!

I like the look of the heartwood to heartwood tips...  Can't wait fo the money shot   :)

Woma....

Thanks everyone. The sapwood on Osage makes good bows.  this one shoots well. I do wish I had made it a bit shorter, but I didn't have the width that I wanted so I have it some extra length. With most of the sapwood bows I make I always chase a ring, heck, I chase a ring on every view I make.i figure it is safer. I tried to not chase one on the last sapwood bow and the ring ended up cracking so I chased one after the bow was finished.

Dean, I'll have it at mojam if you want to see it.I'm leaving Wednesday night our Thursday morning. See you there.

Stan, no woman  :)  Kip has it. Woma is a python.

Thanks for the PC Kip

Thanks Jamey. I can't wait to see it get darker.

Woman skin is to oily for bows and far to soft...most of the time. It has better uses too.   :goldtooth:
