Nice job! Sweet and simple. White dot pattern is very cool. Tiller looks great to me too! Cheers- Brendan

Outstanding!  It conflicts with what Howard Hill always said about a bow.... but you can't fuss over stuff like that when you are busting arrows!  Great work my friend.   Looking forward to seeing that one next week.

That's a fantastic looking bow, and it is really sweet when it all comes together as you describe. My best shooters all pretty much happen by accident. I cant really point to anything I did different when it occurs. Is there anything you did different that you would repeat on the next bow?

Not sure what I did differently rps3 and don't know if I could do it again, I think I just got lucky on this one. Being a stiff handle bow is a bit outta the norm for me as ole' Pearly mentioned and that could just be most of it. I have very few strict set of rules that I adhere to from bow to bow so it basically a crap shoot when I take to building one. :D
Clint, your right the white dots will stand out more as the osage darkens. There is some really pretty grain in this osage too.
Thanks for the comments guys, looking forward to seeing you at Pappy's in a week and at Marshall in a month. :)
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Sometimes it is just a special piece of wood , have tried to figure out why but have never been able to.
You can look at 2 piece of wood that look the same but for some reason they aren't. Again Greg very nice work. :)

I think that slight D/R design makes for a very smooth shooter.  Looks like a great tiller, and I really like the handle wrap.

I knew you would come to the dark side, first stiff handle of many i bet, beauty of a bow Greg, what is left to say but awesome
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.
