That's awesome.  You got some good weight out of that piece.  That bow would go nicely with my new "knife"  ::)

sweet Greg, ain't anything simple about your bows, the only thing better than looking at one would be shootin' one, bub

Man that's one sweet bow.  I just love the way your bows look.  I have said it before and I'll  say it again.  In every way great looking bow.

Very sweet lookin' bow Greg.  I can remember you saying a while back that you were going to build a short bow.  Looks like you nailed it.

Thanks steve
Thanks Arrowwind
Thank you bub, Matt, Bob, dbb, Glis and Clint. I appreciate the feedback guys.
Would like to go out in the backyard and shoot it today but man it is cold here and I'll probably wimp out and stay in and watch football instead. Can't hunt this weekend because its gun season here and no bowhunting allowed during the 3 day gun season.

Thanks Jon. Figured you'd appreciate this little bow. Working my way down to finishing off that 47" osage that I've been dragging my feet on, slowly losing my fear of the short bows. ;D
Thanks Slim, yeah been doing some shorter ones lately here partly because of the buckthorns character flaws, often
hard to find 50" to 60' of good wood in a stave.
