I like the backing pattern, tiller colour and that sap-on is beautifull!!..the tip overlays are great... :D :D...
A question Pat:
In the handle detail pic, I can see like the ring count in that stave is rather high, żIsn´t it?...thats the reason to get it backed I wander....

Thanks for sharing!!... ;)...
Cheers...
Asier. 
 

Pat B:
Asier, As long as the back ring isn't violated I usually have no problems with high ring count on osage bows. I have made some very nice bows(osage) with high ring count.  The main reason I backed this bow is because I left the sapwood on the back, but also because I rounded off the back, violating rings around several pin knot clusters. I wanted this bow to have a rounded belly and back for aesthetic reasons. I used rawhide on the back for security and the leopard skin patterned tissue paper just for decoration.
   Thanks for the nice remarks.      Pat
