thanks for the positive comments, fellas.
This osage is backed by 2 courses of deer sinew. A 4inch handle thats 1.5inches wide. 2inches at the fades and slowly tapers to 1/2inch at the nocks.

That's a beautiful bow!!  Is there any hand-shock at all for the shortness of it, or does the reflex remove it all? 

Really gorgeous paintwork.

Nice bow. When I see those short sinew backed bows, I can't help but envision a horse, open range, and buffalo to hunt.

impressive.  What did you use for the paint job?  I've been wanting to try something like that, but until now, hadn't seen a color I was crazy about.  I might just try something like that on my 49" D bow that's almost done.

This traditional  bow represents the Southwest. A New Mexico Cochiti Pueblo style bow. Got the designs ideas from local pueblo pottery designs and painted with all natural dyes.

Very Nice. I really have a thing for short sinewed osage bows.  That one is great.  I really like the paint work as well. Fine job.

nice looking bow, love the paint scheme, close to a northern california design. SB- I have had good results using water based artists acrylic paints they dry flat and look good.
