 Another nice shorty Rich, amazing!  After these last two you posted I'm unable to think about anything other than making a short bow.
Gonna have to get started on one soon. Maybe I'll try something in the 50" - 52" range, that will be a challenge for me.

Traxx,
     I'll see if I can find another stave someplace (we got 5 feet of snow in the woods right now) but pretty sure I can come up with one. Will do a step by step in the how to threads.
     Hope it helps you out some. Probably aint the way most do it, hell it may not even be the "right" way but happy to show how I do it
Thanks again fellas.

Come back and looked at this one repeatedly.  Very nice as all yours are.  Your bows are a clinic in short bow building.
