Well done simson.
Maybe this design is the best bow- design ever, those Inuit style skinny long tips provoque a
lot of early bending of the inner limbs. Pure energy savers.
Osage is a great candidate for this design, but I´ve done it with other woods too. Elm and rowan are working fine with it.
Shot with light arrows this design is almost not to outperform.
For further details and pics go here: https://redhawk55.wordpress.com/2014/06/29/new-bow/ and here: https://redhawk55.wordpress.com/2014/01/06/the-vorderheubronn-flightarrow-massacre/

But it is a delicious job to do, the transition of the bending area into the stiff tips seems to be the crux.

Thanks fellas for the nice compliments and your thoughts about!

The f/d pic didn't capture the fulldraw, but I thinl you see the tiller shape good enough.
Maybe this bow is a candidate for flight shooting, I'm always wonderind what have I to do that a bow becomes a flight shooter.
When I get more time (currently lot of bows in different stadium), I will make me some arrows with diff. weights to check out the qualities for flight shooting. Can anyone tell me what's the most light weigted arrow is on a primitive selfbow, of course I mean gpp?

The metal (tinn, melted in) holds in the hole per geometric, the side wall of the hole is concave. The knob is only in the bending side of the limb (back) not in the compression side (belly) to avoid fracture. The surface is polished, till it looks like a grown in nail.
