Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Very cool little bow. Those tips are awesome!   8)  I bet the light weight boo levers make her quick. That bend is beautiful too.

That is a dandy little bow.  Yes, very sweet looking tiller and I really like those thin red tips.  Bet that is a quick bow.  Job well done.

That is a killer little bow. I love that front profile and those bends. Nice save!  :)
