I heat treated the bell after floor tiller

The skin has a very faint pattern but mostly brown

Looks good Mark. The skin job is very neatly done. Lets see that thing bend.

Nice job the resting profile sure looks straight.

That's a very pretty stick! The full-draw is so very nice! Is the belly dyed/stained or is the color from toasting the belly for a heat treatment?

It was a long heat treat,Marc St Louis style
Thanks Guy's

I wish I had something more witty to say, but Pearly said all... Perfection. (-S
-
Nice looking bow
-
Wow! That is a textbook example of a classic osage flatbow, done to perfection.
-
Thank you guy's very much
-
Very clean bow, love it!
-
How does it feel to shoot Max?I think it's a classic example of avoiding hand shock with a longer osage using a nice elliptical tiller.Nice back drop for all of your pictures also.
-
Very nice, well tillered bow, Mark. Well done. :OK
-
I shoots really good.
Thanks
Thanks Pat
-
Are you putting it in the BOM contest?
-
I don't think I would have a chance at winning
-
You might be surprised. Lots of fella's vote on a well built bow. Not just a fancy, glossy poorly built bow. I would be one of them. I first look at the execution and design, then look at the bells and whistles hangin off it.
-
I wouldn't have asked if I didn't think it was worthy of my vote ;)
-
One thing though.It looks like a right handed shooting bow.You show full draw left handed.Is there a reason for that?No big deal just curious. (SH)
-
Yes Beadman, I am left handed and the bow is right handed.
Thanks Guy's
I think I will enter for BOM
-
OK I reread.This bow is for your friend.
-
I'm with Pearl and Outlaw. I'd vote for this bow for sure. ;)
-
Thanks a bunch
-
Well done, that'll last a lifetime
-
Nice max no set. Looks good to me. Narrow tips also nice. Very little shock in that one. Arvin
-
Still love this one Mark! Dang it looks smooth... - OneBow
