well finally got her done. I think it looks ok. Its 62" ntn, 45# at 28",six coats of try-oil, black walnut tips, black leather lace grip and a floppy rest. She fought me a bit especially the end with the knot whole. But I persevered. Enjoy the pics.
   
 

   

Hole in one! I like it!

That is really nice work.  Looks great    

I like it.

Thanks guys.
osagetree- i was racking my brain trying to think of a name for it, I think you just named it for me. If you don't mind me borrowing it?

Hey macbow, how lucky are you? you actually live near a place called osage beach. Is it named that for a good reason?
I was just in Mo. in October visiting family. Might have to time my next trip so I can make mojam next time

Thats your first selfbow?! Awesome. Just awesome. did it take any set?

An excellent bow, Warren! Well done!  

Echatham, no set so far. lost some of my reflex that I heat bent into it. That first picture is right after it was unstrung. Ive put between 100 and 200 arrows through it so far. Just some junk arrows a friend gave me. currently making a list supplies to purchase so I can make my own arrows and strings.
red hill thanks for the applause. I wanna start another one soon, but my wife wants me to finish the remodel I started on the bathroom. The water works and the toilet flush, what ,more can you ask for

That turned out really nice - full draw looks very good to me - nicely done!

That's a serious grip and a serious mustache. Nice bow man. Not alot of guys would have the fortitude to tackle a knot like that on a first osage bow.

Love it!

LittleBen- I figured if I can make a knot like that work, when I get a really good piece it might go a little easier. Besides I kinda like character bows.

The mustache is kind of my trade mark.  
It drives my wife and kids crazy when people stop me in public places and ask for a photo.

What do I think.......I think you done good!!      

great job!

Very nice work!

Hell of a good looking bow.  I think ya done a great job. Tiller looks pretty good to me. Well done

Very Nice!
