Yes he was a good man, having the funeral and celebration of life tomorrow so I am sure another sad day but also a lot of good stories and memories shared. :( I have always heard and truly believe that with what he has been going through over the last year he is in a much better place now so that give me some peace.  :)

I have never had a problem with it melting but I don't use a double boiler, just a pan on the stove, out side of course.  :) never used poop but know it would work, I just use hard wood ashes, easier to come by.  :)

Doesn't get much better than that! That's a mighty fine batch of osage staves too!

Willie - I'll inspect the next one more thoroughly.

James - interesting. I've had a couple of wandering white wood bows over the years, especially when using a dry box to keep them at a low MC, but this is a first for osage. I won't sell an unstable bow so I'll weigh them for a while.

TimBo - that was also my understanding but now I'm second guessing it.

Would limbs growing straight up have reaction wood?  I always thought horizontal limbs had that issue because of gravity.

Thanks for posting this; I see what you mean that photographing the bows is more than a bit challenging given the museum's displaying method. Sure looks like there is some neat looking bows there.
