I just finished this bow up for my best friends uncle. I've got two more to finish and then I can make myself a bow or two finally!  This one is another off of my reflex deflex form and is 62in. Long which for me is a longer bow but it needed to go out to 30 inches so I added some room for error. I fought with the alignment for a long time but I won in the end and it all came together.
62 ntn
52@30
Osage with rat snake skin
Cocobola and counter top tips.

Thanks for looking!

Well Dave if one did not come out looking awesome from you I would think something was wrong.

Great work.

It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.
