Nice working bow, just enough character to be interesting without carrying excess weight.
Bet that punches out an arrow.

you did a nice job on that one. does osage grow up where you live or do you buy/trade for it?

will-   tips are 1\2 outside width and 3\8 inside nocks.  I dont know what width they were when I started tillering.. i dont measure anything except center before i start on a bow.     right now they are only 3\4 at start of working limb then 1\2" thick a 3rd of the way down and fade to roughly 3\8" thick.  not very thick for a heavy lunker i dont think.  limbs are roughly 1.5 wide

Stefan-  no osage around me, I have to trade for it or buy it.  luckily i traded for this piece.
