Well she's almost done. She pulls 52#@26" and really spits a 508gr silky dogwood arrow I made for her. She holds about 3/4" of reflex immediately after unbracing and a bit more after she rests. I put 4 layers of Tru-Oil and 3 of spray satin poly over that. Added a hemp cordage handle wrap set in Massey finish and Ferret's floppy rest. Her mass weight is 13.5oz.
Here are a few preliminary pics. Full draw to come later today...

Cool little bow Pat! I see you're still using those wool puffs. My favorites also.

Stiks-n-Strings · « **Reply #30 on:** December 11, 2011, 06:03:00 PM »

Pat your either getting better looking or that pretty little bow just brings out the color in your eyes.

Pat B · « **Reply #31 on:** December 11, 2011, 07:24:00 PM »

Just like fine wine, Kris! It's all me. The bow is pretty plain! d;^)
Art, they have been my favorite since you gave me some a few years ago.

I kinda figured that, LOL

Great lookin bow. hard to believe that little bow zips one as short as it is. Well done

Pat B · « **Reply #34 on:** December 12, 2011, 10:33:00 PM »

Thanks Chris. She amazed me too. I've wanted to build a short sinew backed osage for years but never had the right stave. When Gary Davis gave this one to me last year at the Tenn. Classic, first thing I thought of was...a short sinew backed osage! d;^)

Cool looking bow Pat. Sinew backing is still my achillies heel, but i havent given up yet. Congratulations on the new bow.

Nice bow Pat.

Great looking bow! Like always, you done good....really good.

Pat B · « **Reply #38 on:** December 13, 2011, 10:14:00 PM »

DVS, it is ironic that your Achillies heel is working with Achillies tendons! d;^)
Thanks Walt and Jimmy. I need to make a set of cane or sourwood shoot arrows for her and maybe a Plains type quiver and bow case.

Sweet and cool! Great job, Pat!
