Thanks to everyone!  It started out with about 6" of setback, most of which is gone now.  It's about half as thick at the tips as it is at the handle.

You are cranking out them sinewed short bows lately!  Nice job! Can you shoot well with a 21" draw?

It takes a lot of getting used to.  Definitely not something you would want to spend all day on a 3D course with.

Beautiful.  Those western indians sure were stingy with wood. ;D

Nice reflex you got on the limbs and nice tiller.  Very intriguing.  I also have made a bow out of red oak with tight growth rings and it has a nice cast at 66" ntn and 37# @ 28".
