That looks like another sweet little shooter.  Looking forward to seeing the rest of them. 

Blackhawk, how long do you heat that handle area before putting that deflex in? Dry heat or steam?
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

thanks guys  :)

Carson...the deflex in this one was done by splicing billets together in deflex like Marc does with a lot of his R/D bows n such....the one piece staves I do deflex at the handle is done with dry heat....osage responds and bends the best imho for that kinda heat manipulation.

I do believe that'll work!  The handle and tip woods compliment the bow nicely! Josh
