OK fellas got my bow from hunterbob here and have braced it/pumped it/and looked at it hard......lol.Very nice beautiful stick.Thanks hunterbob.I hav'nt shot it yet.It needs more serving for my self nocks to snap on nice,but will get to it.Pretty busy at the moment here.Storms have tore a few things up here lately and made a mess of things.
It's 65" TTT/62.5"NTN.Sapwood backed osage.54# @ 26".I might need to retiller it to 28" though.It's got plenty of character on it with the wiggles etc.Bloodwood tip overlays.Leather handle and arrow pass.Nice D97 string with some wool fluffys on it.First sapwood backed osage I've ever owned and can see the appeal for it for sure.Beautiful finish.Feels good in the hand.I'm very well pleased with it.Here's some pics.

She's shipped out and on her way to her new home now. She'll be showing up in a big black tube.

Glad you like it Ed . I guess it's time to buy a new scale all I have is a round fishing scale that goes to 50#  I guess everything over that. So 60@28 is a bit stiff. Will not take much to bring it down a tad to fit you. Hope it makes it out to the woods with you. I do believe I will be making me a sap wood backed osage sometime to. I really like how that one shot.

Nice looking bow there Beadman.  I like the snakey character and the bloodwood tips.  Great job HunterBob!  Will B.

Thanks fellas.I feel so too.
hunterbob...I'm gonna try to make a sapwood backed one too in the future.I guess pulling the bark and part of the sapwood off then sealing it with shellac.Think that would stop the wood wasps though?They are pretty active here....lol.Taking it in the house would do the job for sure I suppose.

I'm not sure, it's not marked and I haven't measured it, but I'd guess 68" ttt.
