Thanks everyone, this bow taught me alot and is for sure a milestone for me personally.
Limbit- I have seen the spliced antler bow vid you speak of,  of the bows in the local museum is a well known short spliced antler bow.
           Its around 32", the core is made up of 3 or 4 pieces of antler, it looks like a thin backing of something, baleen maybe? With a sinew cable as well,
Beadman - Making sinew strings is something I've gotten pretty quick at, so its not as tedious as it once was.  I actually find it pretty enjoyable and satisfying now.
RPS3 - From what Ive been told, its not illegal to have baleen if it has been cut up for craft purposes, or something like that.

Great persistence to see that one through.  I am thoroughly impressed

[Redhand]

Very nice Goat!  I really dig these old bows, nice work twisting up that sinew.  Excellent craftsmanship!

[BowEd]

Goat...Yes flemish twisting up cordage can go along at a decent pace.I can remember making stinging nettle cordage at night after letting the dogs loose years ago.Making 8 to 10 foot at a time.Tough stuff.
I'm sure making enough was the key to your bow.All out of cows is the impressive part.

Now thats what I call making a commitment to a project, I think I would have called it quits about 6 hrs into the sinew cable making step.
Incredible bow Ryan and to have it come out so perfect on your first attempt shows your top of the heap skills. Will you be starting another soon?

Amazing persistence! All that and little kid cruising around! Beautiful bow and superb dedication!
