I got this osage stave at MoJam and finished it up over the summer.  So far it has been shot a few hundred times and been on several hunting trips.  Now all the staves I split a couple of months later need to hurry up and dry...the limbs have a couple of wrinkles, which made it a bit tricky to tiller, for me at least, but it shoots better than I do and doesn't have much set, even after being strung for several hours...so I am pretty happy.  (57# at 28", although I am drawing it a bit less than that; 62" ntn)

Congratulations on your first shooter. Mojam sure is a great place to pick up staves and info. I met so many new people there, but I don't recognize your face. Nice job all the same. I like the stain job.

Very nice bow.  I agree, the stain on the bow is great.  May have to be a little more creative on my next one.  Congratulations on a nice bow.

Aha...Thanks Roy!  I almost did it right...just chose the wrong option the first time.

Thanks guys!  The stain is actually black and red aniline dye a la Dean Torges.
