Gordon, I think the elk will line up to see that beauty!  I love the characteristics of osage also. Love chasing a ring.

I don't think I've seen an osage bow made by you.  Fantastic!  Beautiful work, nice attention to detail, and great full draw profile.  The takedown sleeve blends in really so well that I was quite surprised to see it in two pieces in the last pic.  Good luck on the hunt!

(and I'm torn on the quiver.  It's a bit over the top for my tastes, but it's still an awesome piece.)

As always, your bow is stunning! It's a pleasure looking at your work! The quiver is.... interesting. I think Del said it... extreme.

As always - very slick Gordon. Beautiful! That almost looks like a live wolverine on your back like he's weighing you down almost :).

I think this is the first time I've seen an osage bow from you. Excellent work as always.
The quivewr is awesome. I had heard that Mr. Catts did beautiful work. Very nice knife too.
Good luck on your hunt.

Thank you all for the really nice compliments. I debated about whether to include pictures of the quiver - I hope no one is offended by it.

I'm sure all the Forum Members that are also enrolled, dues paying PETA members will hold their comments out of respect.   >:D

The only problem with hunting with a bow like that is it leaves only one excuse for missing....operator error!  Not sure how the elk feel about it, but if I ever get shot by a bow, I want it to be one like yours.

Thanks JW but it's not the PETA types I'm worried about (I'm sure there are none of those on this site). Wolverines are an endangered species in the lower 48 and some might be offended for that reason. But wolverines are plentiful in Alaska and are legal to hunt and trap there.

If taken legally and ethically there shouldn't be a problem. Love the quiver!

I admit I was sorta freaked out at that wolf (wolverine, rather) on your back!  The side-view pic makes you look like a modern-day Daniel Boone.  A good thing, in my book.  Have fun with the bow, and I hope you get at least a couple of elk this year.   Good luck!
