Gun Doc/half eye: those bows show a level of skill that is inspiring. I'm going to make bows like that, you just watch and see

Josh- thank you also, for posting your work. Both you guys are way to modest about what you have been able get out of such short staves, the craftsmanship speaks for itsself.

very cool bows! halfeye and gundog.
Gun Dog do the feathers influence the bow?
I gave one of my last ones some fur a the end and was surprised how in quiets the bow, I could imagine these feathers could do something similar.

Having somewhat stiff outer limbs does help with string angle on short bows but then they were never meant to be drawn to the ear. Also a lot of the old bows I have examined seemed to have a lot of chrysals in the outer limbs which seems to suggest that keeping the outer limbs fairly stiff is necessary for longevity
