Nice Pat.  I'm a real fan of the shorties, especially sinew backed.  Looking forward to the decorated bow!  Your method of tying the bow into reflex using a sinew tie, is the same that I do.  It just makes sense.  Great job so far.  I intend to be at the Classic this next year and will certainly bring my shorties!

  Pat I use rachet straps to add my reflex. I 've found the 2 or 3 inchs of reflex I'll keep and inch of reflex. But that is short plus as you know your sinew will add some also. It should be a fast shooter.

Nice Pat.  I'm glad you're tillering that one.  Short reflexed bows are a challenge for me, easy to miss weight.   I'm anxious to see how you finish her up, should be a nice bow.

Pat have you got a weight you're shooting for or is it too early to tell?

Lane, I'm looking for about 50#@26" but we'll see!  ::)
MWirwicki, I'll have this bow at the Classic too. I have to show Gary Davis what I did with it.  ;D
 Thanks everyone. I've wanted to build one of these short sinew backed osages for a while and when Gary gave the stave to me it was my first thought.

Pat
Good start there !
It amazes me how folks seem to come up with similar processes looks just like the way Gary does them !
Matt and Old Timber plan on dragging this beat up old body of mine to the classic so we shall meet then if the good Lord is willing !
Take care

Guy...ill make sure matt n Marty drag ya down there >:D

I should be there myself if all works out.

Pat...my vote is for copperheads if she pans out to be a great lil bow.  :)....I got a copperhead waiting to go on a D/R sinewed Osage shorty if all goes well. A perfect skin n wood combo IMHO

Blackhawk, I just happen to have a set of copperheads that Cipriano sent me not long ago.  ;D
  Guy, looking forward to meeting you at the Classic. I'll have this bow with me to show Gary. Maybe he'll give me another stave.  ;)

Ingenious using the sinew loop!

Looking good!  The sinew loop is genius.  As usual, the simplest solution is the best solution.  Thanks for sharing that tip!   Josh
