Very impressive work.  I think the full draw and unbraced profile of that short a bow speak for themselves.  Excellent use of all natural materials.
 
I really like that 2 ply whitetail rawhide string.  That's a work of art in itself.  Maybe half eye can comment on the process behind it's construction?

Love the picture of the raw materials Don. That turtle leg sure was clean. Just curious how many times do you have to string a bow with rawhide string before it stops stretching? I would imagine a bunch but I've never used it. I get frustrated with B-55
Once again very nice work

   Morgan, thank you...

   Aaron, thank you for the compliment sir...

   Bj, glad you enjoyed the pictures...Rawhide certainly stretches especially a new string...At first brace I can actually see the brace move and feel it close up on my step through method of stringing...I then tie again and again until it stabilizes enough to shoot...After the first shot this sequence takes over again, tie again until the brace stabilizes...This has to be constantly monitored during shooting sessions and is what keeps it interesting and fun...Rawhide is the quietest string I have shot probably attributed to it's stretch and flexability...It is pretty durable also...I have seen many museum bows and pictures with 2 ply rawhide strings and can see how the NA fed their families when used...Thank you for your interest and maybe Rich will comment on the construction...

   M2A thank you

   Webbbowhunter, thank you and welcome to PA...
