That's a nice bow, Twisty.  If it bothers you to look at the slight gullwing, I'll take it off your hands.  But I imagine there would be a heck of a fight with everyone else that wants this one!  For now the stained sinew wrap contrasts with the yaller wood, but later they will complement each other nicely.  Either way, class act all the way.

Thanks for posting it for us to drool over.

Those wraps look sweet, so does the bow!
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Great lookin bow!! Wraps look really cool too. Im with you on the grain around the grip, thats my favorite part to look at on a selfbow, especially the waterfalls going down the fades. :)

A lotta personality in that one! Good job with the wraps. I think it adds pizzazz!!

Sweet tiller on that crooked stick. I like the wraps as well, goes with the grip and tips. If you move to FL do you have to sell the cabin?

Another great osage bow.  Love the wrap.  I hope that was artificial sinew, can't imagine the work to splice all the real sinew threads over that large an area.

thanks-  no the cabin isnt up for sale, just sitting idle right now. its a good hunting camp as of now, but would still need a little work if it was to last.  my friend is going to buy me out in a couple years, he wants the neighbors property as well so im just kinda patiently waiting for somthing to happen with it.... not really in the a great place in MT.  if it was in prime location I would probably never let it go.  It only has Mule deer..which is nice    but with no whitetails, bear or elk using it as a home range (some bear and elk pass through but nothings stable) then I wont hang on to it just to hunt. I can go to Lewistown where my family is an hunt wt, md, elk and bear all in one place.  soon as i get out from under though i will invest in something else.
