Hillbilly:
Here's a fine little osage bow that Pat made with a sapwood back. It looks even better in person, it's snappy and holds a good reflex.

Trapper:
Well I was just wondering, because evryone I see, always says take the sapwood off first before you do anything.Ive made several limbows that was mostly sapwood and they seemed to work pretty good, and they are easier to induce reflex in to also, some of the time they will pull into a natural reflex, well I was hopeing somone had a good reason not too I guess, dad gum I cant get anyone to argue with me today.       Trapper
