Finished this one a few weeks back. It was my second attempt with osage. I made it for my cousin who hooked me up with his father in-law to get a batch of osage. Thought it was the least I could do for 2 nice logs of osage! I told him he can't have it until I break it in and hunt with it this December. Thought I would share a few pictures. Any input on tiller would be appreciated - I am still new to this game! (I think this is bow number 16) Thanks for looking.
63" ntn, 50# @ 28" - 1 1/4" wide out to mid-limb then tapered to 1/2" at tip. Used some whitetail antler for tip overlays and wrapped handle with some black cord/massey finish. It has about 1" of natural reflex which it retained after tillering. Finished it with several coats of wipe on poly.
