I am working a new Osage for a friend. It is 62" and I shooting for 45@26. Right now it's bending 45@20 with flipped tips. What you think?

She's coming along nicely. Looks like the area just outside of the right fade is a bit stiff.

That's what a bow's supposed to look like.  I like your work, Jawge.

Maybe I am looking at this too early in the morning, but if the left limb is the top, you sure have a lot of positive tiller?????????? Just looking at the lines on your board.  Love the design and those flipped tips.

I want to build one just like that one!  I've got a beautiful stave, but just have to find the time.
I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetables!

Try some 80 grit sand paper on the belly of that knot below the fade. That may provide a bit more bending in that region of the limb. otherwise looks great!

Thanks everyone, I put skins on it this morning and will be putting a buffalo grip on it with a floppy rest. Pictures when it is finished.
