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)

Wow! That is really nice! :notworthy: :notworthy:
A bow to be proud of.
Dave.
Boy some work would have gone in there! Nice result!
Very nice Bow. And check your PM's for picture posting info.
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.
