One of the members of this forum gifted me with an osage blank. I really don't want to screw this up so i want help every step of the way. Here are pictures of the bow on the long string one with tension and one without. If I could get some advice on where to go I would appreciate it. It is a D-bow designed to bend through the handle.

Have you done any floor tillering yet? You'll want to get it bending pretty evenly before you put it on a stick or a tree.

Floor tiller first. There's info on my site and some buildalongs. Jawge

yep way to early to tell anything, getter to bending a little more.

Right limb is starting to bend some ,the left is still stiff in the middle 1/3 for sure.Need to get that bending more so it don't hinge at the fads.I know some don't but I always save the fads and
last 6 or 8 inches from the tip till close to last.Easy to hinge at the fads and easy to get a whip tiller toward the tips. Looking good so far.Go slow. :)
