Awesome little bow. I've always admired those Blackfoot bows in the Hamm and Allelly books.

 Steve that bow is a true work of art and a fresh step back in history. I love it. Very authentic and you nailed the profile and tiller as well as the decorations. Congratulations, That one could be on display in any museum,  Keenan

Steve, your steam rolling us with all this wonderful work.  Thats ballsey. Courage to go that short and excute it so well might inspire me to grow a pair and try it. Osage is tuff stuff and as you have proven,  properly done can be done shorter than I had realized. That osage bow almost has a turkish horsebow look in the string angle. Guess thats why they used the  pinch draw.    Danny

Danny, This one is yew but yew and osage I find have great overdraw capabilities when baced with sinew. Try on, you wont regret it. The shortest wood and sinew bow that I have made to date was 36". I was drawing it to 24" over and over to see what would happen.......it did eventulyy break but that was real extrame. Sinew and wood can reall take a lot if its tillered well.

Thanks Army medic.
