John,
I'd like a price/shipping list as well. I read along on most of these posts and want to try a bow out of osage.

We pretty much make them to order so tell us what you want.we sell roughed out bow blanks for $100 plus shipping of about $10-$15. these will have the ring chased and cut to profile.

For $125 (plus shipping) we will floor tiller to 6 in or so and make any corrections to bring the string to the center of the handle and induce a couple of inches of reflex.

For $150 (plus shipping) we will do all of the above plus tiller to 20 in.
