Dave, Rawhide, when dry, is very paper like but once wet it becomes very pliable and forms to the contours of the bow. The rawhide for this bow came from Gary Davis. it is deer and is very thin...but strong.
  Outdoors Girl, welcome! good to know there are some females out there with the same interest as us guys(Marie and Sarah, ya'll don't count ;)). Thanks for your comments. Please join in more.
  Don, I flinch every time I come to full draw. You will notice in the pics that I'm not at full draw.
  Thanks Alan.      Pat

This looks similar to the bow that Jim Hamm (I think that's his name) made in TBB vol 1. I might be mistaken or completely off my rocker, and if that's the case please someone let me know. Regardless, whatever inspired you to make this bow...it's beautiful. I can't even fathom the work, skill, and time it took to put it all together. Great Work :) and thanks for sharing the pictures!

I've been trying to see how strong of a bow I can with as little of wood as possible. So far, this one is tops. ;D  These shorter bows are hard to shoot accurately, at least for me, but from the ground and no more than a 15yard shot, I wouldn't hesitate to hunt with it. From an elevated stand(my front porch) I'm not as accurate.   
  Thanks for the positive comments guys.    Pat

Pat, that's just too cool. I assume that's the same one you showed me at the restaurant last week without the cool pimp job  :) ? Great job, hard to believe what you can get out of a little piece of 'sage.

As usual Pat you impress me. I like that bow. I have made some little kids bows out of osage but nothing with that much weight. Might have to try. i have some shorter pieces. thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks Sean. Even though I prefer longer bows these shorties are intriguing and addictive.  8)    Pat
