Thanks Guy but, it isn't a bow yet.  I did some more work on it this weekend and last night.  I glued a handle reinforcement horn on the belly and sinew wrapped around the siyahs and the handle fadeouts.  The sinew backing has cured since the Kalamazoo Expo and is good and dry.  I'm thinking about trying to string her up this weekend.  I'm a bit nervous.  I'm thinking that there isn't enough length in the bending portion of the limbs.  If it does, I'm thinking it will be rather stiff.  I have to remember to make some pre-bend forms.

Here are the latest pics.  This weekend, I will make some limb formers and attempt it's first bend, possibly brace.  Likely, I'll have some tillering/balancing of the limbs.  If it doesn't blow up, that is....

Oh man, that's a wicked little thing Matt.  Have fun stringing that one.  It might jump out of your hands and across the workshop.

Very cool little bow, Matt. Reminds me of a carriage bow from the days of old.  Bring it to the Classic so I can see it up close.

What kind of weight are you looking for out of that bow Matt?  I'll bring my mini bow to the Classic.  It's a roasting stick compared to yours
