Rich, your short, little bows are amazing. I'm sure if someone were to just look at this they'd think it was a kid's bow... until they pulled that sucker back!
Glad yo were able to show that orange sliver who's boss

[sadiejane]

btw i saw a leather quiver ya made for stringman at mojam.
that was one nice quiver.

Dang if you don't get away with some of the shortest bows. Good work.Ron

[Blacktail]

wow MR.rich that is a sweet little stick and beat its fast...i think it would be a great bow for turkey hunting or ambush deer hunting...just send it out my way i will put it to use...LOL...how does it shoot out to 20-25yrd does it hold a punch out that far....i cant believe its not sinew backed for that short of a stick...thanks for sharing...john

Rich even the wood is mean down here in Texas.. Something about "dont mess with Texas."  I guess that applies to wood too

Great bow and awesome tiller!

Thank very, very much fellas. Your approval means a lot to the old guy......

Blacktail, I dont shoot that weight very well but I put 20 or so arrows through it last night. At 20 yards ya cant even see a cane arrow go....ya hear it very loud when it hits. My hardwood arrows (450 to 500 grains) are dead flat at 15 yards and very flat at 20yds.....I dont shoot past that range on animals....ever. Both types of arrows carrying 125 field points will penetrate the 3/4" plywood walls of my shed, far enough ya cant see the head. Not that I ever miss

Usually I scrape these heavy bows down to my weight range (high 40's) but this little bow is real sweet (as far as I can tell) so I'm thinkin the right thing to do is leave it be and send it back to Mr. Stoneberg. He really knows Osage so maybe he'd be better off tellin ya what he thinks, I think it's a good bow.

Great bow you got there sir. My hat of to you i wish I could do something like that with such a short piece... really tempting i may just try. by the way what is the width?

[profsaffel]

Beautiful, simple, short, effective. You do make nice short bows.

Legionnaire, The mid portion of the bow averages 1-3/8" wide...there are some knot sweeps and the like but I believe that measurement to be an honest average. The back, of course, is low crowned.....but I also made the belly low crowned so I have not put the calipers on her yet but can do if it would help ya any.
