 Osage Darcy. I wish these pictures showed the depth of the finish, it shines like glass. I usually have mixed feelings about the look of snake skins but this bow just begged for them. Thank you all for looking.

OK osage it is ;D If I had waited a minute to see the next pics I'd have seen that.
Looks real good, Maybe could be bending a hair more just past mid limb, but it is tough to read the tiller on snakey bows from a photo, so I may be wrong.
The snakeskins and overall finish look great.........14 coats of tru oil, you are a patient fella ;D

osage and snake skins, always a nice pair. that is a truly nice bow. great job on all of it... really envy you with that huge track of land to launch some arrows into, looks like a nice place for archery.

Your probably right Darcy, I'm pretty new to this. I did leave the last 8" or so stiff so I'm sure that adds to the effect.

Considering the wood choice and length at this draw weight, you could probably have whip ended it a bit and picked up a bit of speed, and less shock, but no matter, it looks great and probably shoots a heavy arrow quite fast, and I agree the snakey limbs were screaming for skins ;D
Again nice job, even for the 40th bow it's great........for number 4 it's awesome 8)
