Nice rustic look on that one and neat shape!

really nice shape you got there!

As the others said, let us see more pics ...
Looking at the handle pic: Is here a lift off of sinew? If so, I would fix it with fish glue or hide glue.
Nock and handle pic: not shure about the wrappings. Is this artificial sinew? If so replace it with real sinew. This is a beautyful bow and should have the origin materials.
Hope you don't mind ....

Yes. I'll show some more pictures sooner. The bow is not finished. Yes I will replace the artificial sinew with real sinew. Sooner. :-) But the bow has a great shape. Thanks to all of you. :-) I will show some more pioctures att full draw sooner. I need a little help from my brother. He is the photographer. ;)

Very nice.  I like to shoot Plains style bows.  Looks like a beauty - like said, looking forward to the full draw shot.  Know anyone with an iPad?  I'd enjoy a video.  I'm curious to see more short bows shoot.
