  Springbuck, thank you...
  Peacebow, No heat treat on this one. If it would have taken a large amount of set I was prepared to try it though.
   Robert, thank you sir...
   Brian, It's amazing wood ;)

Inspiring and simple at the same time.

Half eye's inspires more people than I believe he truly knows.

  Thank you Ron, I agree, Rich has made some awesome short bows over the years and is a proven bowyer...
   Thank you Simson, I enjoy all of your work and wonderfully tillered bows.

I just received this wonderful bow from Don. Thought I would add to his post. It is even better in person and is just awesome. When I got the bow it was different than Don stated...the bow has 1/2 inch of reflex and quite easily draws 50# at 24 inches. The grease/pitch finish is outstanding as well.

Don, I'm proud to own this bow and look forward to hunting her. I'm sorry I couldn't wait to shoot her but man it's a well mannered rocket launcher 8) 8) 8) 8) obviously it's well tillered.

Thank you sir for a first class bow, it will be treasured.
rich

ps: added a pic of her showing that it has no set and about 1/2 inch of reflex

  Rich,
          I'm glad you approve of her bud, that means a lot coming from you...I hope you enjoy it and thanks for the inspiration...I am going to make some more of these short bendy bows, kind off addictive... ;)

I'm late on this after the Holidays...but, WOW!  The tiller/dimensions/and lack of set is really remarkable!  Awesome post.
