Twister:  My son was looking over my shoulder while on this site.  When I opened your post he said, "Kooooool.  Dad, you should do one like that!"

Really nice.  I'm into the shorties and your bow sure fits the bill.  I like a lot about it but, especially like the detail in your buffalo drawings.  I like how you "shaded" the chest forward portion. 

Good on ya!

thanks a lot guys.  they seem pretty easy to build overall. I did this one in 1 day with just hand tools.  lol  just not as much wood to worry about when you lop a 3rd of it off..lol
      I'm still not sold on the artwork.  I know it's not "period"  but if i was going to paint on it, i wanted it to stand out.  next time I think i wont do much for decorations.   I really despise decorations on my longer bows, but these shorties do lend themselves well to color

Fine job, TL. I like the color combo. It looks like you left the osage natural. Will it still darken over time even though it's been sealed?

   Cool little bow, always fun to work on projects unlike the normal stuff we do. I wonder if the Indians had bright blue? LOL.
