Interesting treatment on that top nock John. That's using your noggin.

Good luck in the Challenge. You'd enjoy deer hunting in Deans honeyhole. It's a beautiful place.

Very nice John. That's what I call getting all of the goodie out of that piece of wood. Pat

Wow! That bow just looks deadly!
  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :notworthy:      

Is the stringing overlay on the upper limb made from osage also?
Is there any kind of tip overlay on the lower limb?

John that looks great, and it looks like you've adressed the criteria pretty well too.  Great job.

For hunting to have a future, we must invest ourselves in future hunters.

Thanks folks.  I have been really slow in the bowmaking department lately.  I'm hankering to get building again.  I donated a copy of last year's bow to St. jude's so I guess I get my wish.

Last Arra, yes it is osage.  I like to make really thin slices of osage and then laminate them for tip overlays.  That makes a neat pattern when dyed but also allows them to conform to the tip if you don't get it perfectly flat.  There is no overlay on the bottom.
