Thanks everyone. It's been over two years since I made one for myself. Honestly I still have two that I promised to other people, but I just couldn't wait any longer.  I'm probably gonna close down the shop for a bit to finish getting ready for bowseason. Well, I'll still be on the shop, but only nights. Lol once you start, it's hard to stop ain't it?

That thing is awsome.  I love the braced profile.  I've haven't done an osage selfbow yet. It doesn't grow here. Seeing that beauty makes me want to go find some though.  Fine work Dave.

Glad you got the tiller figured out on that bow.  Bow looks even better in person.

DVS, it's been a couple years since I made me a bow too. I have an Osage Selfbow in the shop, that's been cut out  and sanded to bow shape since last November, it was at 10% moisture content when I cut her to shape last year. All she needs is string grooves cut in and put on the tree. I fugger it should be well seasoned by now, and it will be a month or two before I get her on the tree. Really looking forward to tillering her, just something different about working on your own Bow:) Kinda just makes ya all wet and giggly inside..     :laughing:

That is a beauty Dave.  Very appealing to the eye and I bet it does put em out there.  Hope you get to put a big one down with it.

Had no doubts about the bow performing well.  But, if you are like me, the shooter sometimes doesn't perform so good. Way to go!  :thumbsup:
