no esee knives were harmed in this process-tho i tell ya that osage orange is some tough wood. dulled many a fine blade. spent a lot of time sharpening

Very cool!

I found a spot where there are some Osage Orange trees near me, but haven't looked for branches that would be good for a bow there - of course I have no bow-hunting skills anyway!

What did you use for the string? The cup of coffee makes me think you were up a lot of hours working on it.
