Jay you always wondered where I got all the straight osage from .When I go here its a battle to pick one.This guy has a ton of good bow wood .

Here are a couple of pics. All of these bows were made by a friend of mine John Mody. He started out making self bows and moved on to glass bows. I never really liked any glass bows till I shot one of his.Enjoy.

I have a Bear Grizzley 55lbs. I also have a static recuve self bow that is sinew backed, the stave was cut in 1948. i built iy myself.
