Hey Ben, Thank You. How are you? I've been watching your posts. Hope someday to get your direction. I will tell you this bow is a beauty. I pumped a dozen of my bamboo arrows at the target today with it. Actually only used 3 arrows but flinged em 4 times at only 10 yds indoors.
I'm going to like this one!
There is something about this bow. It has Charm, Charisma, and Character.
And now I have a model for my osage staves that have been curing in the shop.
I'm elated. And I'm going to learn how to build my own yet.

barebow17, Yes and she's a beauty isn't she?
From the name on the bow it looks like I'm the second owner. I would never have been able to purchase it new. Only the third selfbow I've ever owned. # 1 was a ufinish that I purchased from Dan Quillian, # 2 was an Osage and Yew from Jay St. Charles.
I often kick myself for turning the others.
This one is a keeper to be passed down.
