Real nice work!  Like the bow rack, might copy that!  That bow should be a real hunter!

Hope they don't have a patent on the rack!  It is cool.  I have enough exotic wood to work up a new design, after, I get the bow finished and tillered, the new arrows made, etc., etc!  Rail sent

That is one awesome bow- the shape and finish work is just too cool. I am just getting started but am drawn to short bows. Great work

That is some SMOOTH finish work, brother!  And a very attractive profile and tiller.  58 lbs at that length would challenge me.

What a beauty! Thanks for sharing. Why kind of wood did you use? Was that dry heat that bent those limbs or steam? Good luck :-D.  Thanks again.

Thanks so much guys for all the appreciation for this short bow!

ThreeSons this is Osage.  I actually used a method using a heat gun and automotive oil on this bow.  I am actually thinking it to be less necessary and more messy than anything as i progress through builds...but it is the method i was taught and is the one i used on this bow.
