very nice bow and great tiller Ken.  Haven't seen you working with Osage much.   Sometimes i think u use magic fairy dust to sprinkle on all your bows to keep set under an 1".  Thanks for the pics

Looks like perfection to me Ken - the kind of bow a guy could shoot targets with all day, or take into the bush to harvest some meat.  I love that tiller!

Very nice unbraced, braced and tiller profile. The skin looks unique. Don't think I've heard of a coachwhip snake before, looks really nice.
