Thanks again everybody. I too like simple bows. This is one of the only laminated bows I've done but it was a very enjoyable project for sure. To be a little more revealing, I had originally built the bow with a thin antler belly that failed. That project had me really excited! When I ended up with a short self bow with and 1 1/2-2" of set I knew it wasn't worth finishing unless I did something different. I loved that stave so I'm glad it has been resurrected to the bow rack. Joy is always happy with the bows I make here but I think I could certianly do better for an everyday shooter. I have some Yew staves that have 'Joy's bows' written all over them. She just had our little girl 3 months ago so I'm finally getting my roving partner back. Soon I'll need to make a really little bow.
By the way--this little bow was intentionally made short enough to fit in the gun rack of my late F-150. I was doing 'husband and wife gun rack bows' but never got around to getting mine done.
Badger--you're right about oceanspray. You almost can't break it.

J.D. Very nice bow, and thread for that matter. Gotta love that tiller shot. I have always wanted to try ocean spray too.

Congrats on such a neat bow. Ocean spray, huh? Holodiscus discolor No way it would grow big enough around here in Western Montana. Its in the rose family which is often a reliable source of bow woods.
Very nice and bookmarked for backed bow of the month of June.
