I got it glued up yesterday and got this far today -

I still have a bit of sanding/shaping to do, but it is bending nicely (no full draw... my lovely assistant isn't here to take my picture...)

I have to say I love the black walnut and osage together. More to come...

I rubbed some bees wax/orange oil on it just to show what it should look like when finished  :)

Thanks guys! I forgot to mention that the cores are red elm and it is 62" TtT and is right about #60@28" now. I might drop it a few pounds though.

Very nice - i just took an osage bow out of the oven today. My riser is Bocote with Maple and Bubinga. I am having a hard time deciding what to go with in nock overlayes. I like your osage nocks. For contrast I was thinking of a bloodwood.

Thanks guys. She shoots pretty good. I think I am going to gift it to my brother and try to get him off the wheels  :)

I'll try to make it up to the shoot, it would be sunday if I did.

That is a very nice looking bow - great job! Did you use Kenny's form template as well or is that your own? I have been using the hybrid form template from Bingham but I am excited to try out Kenny's form template. I have it almost ready to test out.
