Here is a bow I have wanted to make for awhile, a Dean Torges style Flatbow.
Spliced osage billets with a full bamboo back and an osage fillet to cover the handle join.
55Lb @ 28", 63"NtN. Nice and quick. Slanted osage and buffalo horn tip overlays.

Well done Mick,
I like the way you did the tip overlays, they say a lot without making a noise.
