Real nice work! Like the bow rack, might copy that! That bow should be a real hunter!

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks again to everyone, i have entered it in BBOM, if you find it worthy i would appreciate the vote. Some big names on here giving me kudos, inspiring my next projects
Hawdancer-that bowrack is $40 shipped on ebay, its from a company called Kotulas if that helps.

Hope they don't have a patent on the rack! It is cool. I have enough exotic wood to work up a new design, after, I get the bow finished and tillered, the new arrows made, etc., etc! Rail sent

That is one awesome bow- the shape and finish work is just too cool. I am just getting started but am drawn to short bows. Great work

That is some SMOOTH finish work, brother! And a very attractive profile and tiller. 58 lbs at that length would challenge me.

What a beauty! Thanks for sharing. Why kind of wood did you use? Was that dry heat that bent those limbs or steam? Good luck
. Thanks again.

Thanks so much guys for all the appreciation for this short bow!
ThreeSons this is Osage. I actually used a method using a heat gun and automotive oil on this bow. I am actually thinking it to be less necessary and more messy than anything as i progress through builds...but it is the method i was taught and is the one i used on this bow.
