Just finished up this little bow. It is 54" ntn 50# @28. I had to use some scrap canebreak skins as overlays for the short copperheads, might have to call this one "scraps". I used some hi density foam to shape the handle, I don't know the jury is still out on that, it feels kinda funny in the hand.

Nice job Dano!! :p Maybe try shooting it with your wrist straighter. That helps me when shooting a short bow.

That tiller is spot on! Just look at how the tips line up on the vertial siding embossment. Perfect. Beautiful bow, Dano.

Dano nice looking bow. It looks like you get to spend a lot of time building them, and no time mowing grass. Wish my yard looked like that instead of 6" grass. Lot of rain in oklahoma lately.

Looks great Dano...

You can sure get a lot of bow out of a short piece of osage.
