Badger, I was here but I have an iron clad rule for message boards, if I don't have personal experience in an area and pictures to prove it, I stay out of the discussion. My white wood bow making experience is minimal at best, a few hickory bows, a few bamboo backed hickory bows and a few backed red oak bows, not enough to form a valid opinion worth injecting into a discussion. I can say a bamboo backed hickory bow will surprise you as a performer.

I have always had access to more osage than I could use, if one has plenty of osage it is hard to branch out and make white wood bows.

PEARL DRUMS:
Sugar coating ones comment(s) doesn't help anybody learn. I've said that for years, but not so much lately :)

  I was more interested in the wars themselves than I was the bows. I would like to get versions from both sides, white wood guys and the osage guys. I thought it might make a cool book with a little embellishment of course.

Well said MuskyMan.   I think that a little tact goes a long way on message boards.  So much of the information conveyed in conversation is left out of a text or written word that often lacks the tone and feel of what the writer intends.  Body language is a huge part of the conveyance in any conversation.  When it comes to criticism (constructive) it very tough to do this well without people taking offence.  A good rule to live a happy life is… strive to not offend and to not be easily offended.  I’ve been fortunate on here so far and thankful to all those with generous comments and pointers/advise.  Eric you’ll be missed by me too.  Guys like yourself have a lot to offer this community for sure.  Keep it “alive and kickin”

Cheers.
