Wow.  Inspiration to become better and try new designs.  Maybe I'll try one with the short oak staves I have drying.  What would be a minimum length for this style at 24"-28" draw?  Poundage wouldn't matter.

I draw 38-29....and I have found that for a nice Draw with no String Angle Problems....66inches is a great length....not nowhere near what the California Paddle Bows are supposed to be forTrue Lengths....40-50 inches...but more like what the Wampanoag Bows were...I make Mine 66 inches NTN....2 1/2" at the widest point...fading to 3/8" Pin Nocks

When you boiled in the tip flips, did you reduce the width of the bow down to near final dimensions first, or leave it full width, then reduce after flipping?

Looks great!  I've got a shorter piece of elm that is just dying to be made into a short bow.

Thanks,
D

I reduced it after the Tips were recurved....to lessen the chance of Splits due to boiling
