Real nice bow and quite the accomplishment to get that weight and draw and still in one piece. Looks like a fun one to shoot as well.

If your disappointed about hitting the hunting weight I can solve that, hunting weight here in Arkansas is 40# if you know what I mean.  ;)  Beautiful little bow, and a perfect circular tiller for 17.5" draw Ill bet it really slings out an arrow.

That is simply amazing...I really enjoy seeing and reading about your bows... I like short bows for blind hunting...you could hunt out of a hollow log with that one.

I have arrows longer than that thing. I would describe the dimensions in millimetres next time might make you feel better  :laugh:

Great stuff as always.

I say sinew back it, pick up a few #'s and a couple inches.  Bet you'll enjoy it even more. 
I just did a 50" equivalent but it has a knot just past mid-limb.  I'm going to do another Osage shorty and sinew back it, but with a clean piece to have all wood working equally and maybe cut length to 46-48".  Awesome example, Rich.

Very nice Rich, but now you got me wanting to build one. Gotta find a tiny Osage stave.
