Wow Pat, that bow turned out excellent. I've been thinking about making a short sinew backed bow. That little beauty just made that decision a lot easier.

Remember when Madden was announcing football and he would go, "BOOM!"?

Well I say BOM!

Very fine shorty and love all the details. I've recently been stuck in a long longbow rut, thanks for the push the other way.

That is one sharp looking bow Pat.  I'm sure Gary will be suprised with what you were able to make out of that stave.  Well done.

Thanks guys. Her bends are not as smooth as I would have liked but she will do fine as she is.
  George, I think her name will be "Sweetie". Someone else used that adjective to describe her too.

Well Pat, she's a beauty (or should I say, Sweetie)!  Very nicely done.  I'll bet she's snappy.    It's obvious you took your time on that one.  Time in my opinion, makes the best bows.  Good on ya!
