That's one great looking bow there, I'm very interested in seeing the finished product, but I really like your pace
. Keep it slow and steady, and it won't blow in your face
!
That's how it goes right

Thimo, how short can you make those bows? I was thinking you just widden it a bit more while reducing the length. Think this would work?

Here is a link to where this design originates. Well that and the Andaman bow and the Holmegaard. Still this is the principles of those designs taken to there logical conclusions. The thread has Dan Perry and Tim Baker among many others in the field.

Manny I know, trust me. It's taken me awhile just to read it, but was well worth the time.
D, I've made them as short as 55" and was very pleased.
