Sweet looking bow Pappy.  Do you use a form for flipping the tips or just over your knee.  The reason I ask is I'm going to try it for the first time hopefully this weekend.

I know that bow is smooth and easy. It shoots hard to. Pappy let us shoot it when it was finished. Great bow Pappy. One of those big slickheads better not get to close.

Another beauty Pappy. That side braced profile is quite sexy.     Pat

Sweet Pappy, Those lines look like they are right out of Stemmler's book from the 40's ;) The Osage Gods are smiling today.

Thanks guys I appreshate it a lot.Yes I use dry heat and a short form to bend them.If I can find it I will post a picture of the form.I found them,the first ones are for normal straightening and backset
the others are for the tips,depending on how much you want.

Glad you posted them Pappy, I know what I'm gonna get busy on when during the off time. Got a osage stave that's deflexed, gonna try and reflex the tips - aughta come out pretty cool if it don't break....
