Wow thats a nice bend. 54-60" is my favorite length. Nice weight on it too, i bet its great to shoot! Gotta love the effect a higher weight has when shooting these short ones!

Ok, so i see how this works now, T&M.  You see us on PA and decide you'll show us a think or two about bowmaking.  so you sign up and start posting all these sweet bows one after another to make us feel like slackers :-[   Well, it's working! >:(

But seriously... that is some fine work you've been putting on the board for us to lust after.  I love this "little" cherry bow, don't think i've seen unbacked cherry at 72#!

Keep shavin and keep the bowporn coming >:D

I live very close to you. I want some of that Super Cherry you have. Any cherry Ive used from around here would crumble at that short length and very, very heavy draw weight. And to take a 1/2" set? My tillering skills obviously are lacking greatly. Bring a stave and some skills if you get time!

Right in the middle of the state just south of M57 on Rainbow Lake.
