This is my Plan E bow (I don't wanna talk about it).  Whew!  I'm calling this one finished, I just want to shoot it in a bit more.  It's a 71" osage ELB, 54# @ 29" last I checked, with traditional tips made from buffalo horn, and a zebra hide handle wrap.  I got a cheap tattered hide from an antique dealer friend. 

It had quite a challenging bottom limb, full of knots and twists, but I was happy enough with the final tiller, all things considered.  I kept it a little stiff around the worst knot to be on the safe side, and I put the handle in the middle for a positive tiller profile.  I'll probably post this one on the main board with more pics & details soon.

Tom that bow looks great!  I love the tips especially, and Zebra skin is really unusual and interesting for a grip.

I didn't realize the ship date is in one month! 

Here's mine braced.
If everything works out I will be able to add a unique touch to cover the cracks on the back.  I'm going to attempt a heat treat before I tiller to final draw length.
