I spent Christmas day ,after the presents were unwrapped that is ,with an old Osage post I beat wedges in and split that old curvy pin knot post into several workable staves,I used a drawknife ,a handsaw ,a horseshoe Rasp ,and worked blisters on one hand but by dark I had the look of a 58 in selfbow ,the post had some grain splitting on face side so I glued the cracks ,then after it dried I linen backed it just for giggles,one limb is real nice ,but the other is curvy and real snakey to work ,but in the end I got both to work together ,I cannot shoot yet because of the constant down pour s of rain we are experiencing ,but I still need some finish sanding and some sealing to do before I take it outside,I expect it draws up near 50 lbs ,cannot wait to see what I have .

Can't beat osage for a selfbow IMO.  Good luck on it and post some pictures when you get 'er done.

That's good! Jawge
