I bet there is some hand shock in that lower limb.

That's pretty neat.

I remember years ago that Dryad, when they made all natural bows, would bring something similar to shows to decorate their booth.

Tillering is so much easier when there's only one limb .... Lol. Very cool.

Very nice work!  Bottom limb looks stiff though.

Great idea, nicely done

As someone who has made a living for 45 years in the design business, one way or another (signpainter/airbrush until the computer took over), might I be so bold as to suggest making the transition from tree to bow a lot sharper - maybe even dig into the base so that the bow is a bit like 'the sword in the stone'?

It surely is a beaut.

Maybe it's a better representation of the gradual process than what I suggested previously.

Joe what inspired you to do this? We all know you are the Sage Osage whisperer, but wow I can't stop peeking in to look at that lovely creation.
