Great job BJ. You sure know how to use all of the wood. Good on you for helping the kids. Gotta start 'em young. Before they find girls and cars.

Thanks Carl
Thanks Jerry it had more character than I'm use to working with. The worst was a huge horizontal limb about 6 rings down. It was a real roller coaster but just amazing how a person can manipulate this Osage. Especially when it's this thin.
Thanks Mike, Dell and Will
Kyle I kinda think the girls outnumber the boys in our 4-H group but it's close. Funny when I was their age girls had coties. Now they work and play together pretty good. Must have found a vaccine for that.
Thanks Pappy

That's a great looking little bow!  The tiller is very nice, also.  Nice one.

Thanks Steve
This is picture of where the side split came from. The wood had to come off anyway.

BJ....I know it might be a bit early to know for sure but do you think those osage you planted are making it?

Ed I haven't looked at them since early winter, but I have every reason to think they did. PNewton gave me several Osage apples that I have in water and will mush up making a solution to plant in a seed trench. He lives fairly close to me and said that how he planted his about fifteen years ago and now they are big enough he's getting fruit. I'll let you know no leaves on any trees here yet.

Nice, little bow, Brian. You nailed the Tiller. That bow could be a fun rabbit thumper.

Neat little bow, BJ. You got it well over 15" in that pic, Id say its safe for a kid :)

Thanks Aaron
Thanks Eddie I'm thinking the same thing about the wabbits
Thanks wooddamon1
Thanks Chris I'd say it's closer to 20" in the picture and I held it there long enough to take three pictures. It still has nice cast at 15" which seems closer to the young ones draw length. Still going to need some adult supervision though.
Thanks everyone for looking
