3/8 at tips.It has a layer of deer rawhide covered with Parrie rattlers and 7 coats of Tru oil rubbed on.It has cow horn tips,This was my first attempt at that.They turned ou OK.I turned up the last 6 in. of the tip just to give it a little more spunk.It is braced at 5 1/2 in.It was made from Osage cut in Dec.05 I split the belly off witch is what it was made from in March 06 and sealed it,  steamed it and and strightened it at that time .Then put it up untill last month.Finished it 3/6/07.Hope

Pappy, it is a joy to watch a true master at his craft work! Your build along has been fantastic and informative.
As for your bow I don't have words to describe it, I will just say its a Mona Lisa of bows.
Truly inspiring ;D
