I found myself in posession of a lot of green osage and decided to build a
steamer according to Dean Torges instructions in Hunting the Osage bow.

Here's an experimental picture. It's attempting to show the construction steps on a light hickory bow I made for my landlord's son. It's pretty a big picture. I neglected to get a full draw picture before giving it away. It's 38 pounds at 28 inches. I used green leather dye to color it.
1. Adding recurves
2. Springback
3. Removing twist
4. Springback
5. Initial brace - long string
6. Floor tillered
7. Handle
