Justin Snyder:
I would do the shorty also. Don't forget, Titebond III is only water resistant. ;) Justin
NOMADIC PIRATE:
LOL BOB
...Yeah I'm leaning towards the 58"er, ..the only thing is that I've never being to succefull with short bows ::) and that makes me gravitate towards the longer bows
water resistant plus skins plus a good finish ;D ;D ;D, ...just don't feel like messing with hide glue :)
Pat B:
Manny, I've only done a few sinewed bows and 2 of them are 60", which worked out well for me. I believe sinew is better suited for shorter bows with 63"-64" being on the long side. I think I'd go with the 58" and add the sinew only to the working part of the limb and leave the tips bare wood(under the finish). I usually leave the tips bare on sinew bows to protect the sinew from the string and vice versa. I then wrap where the sinew ends.
That shorty is stunning with that dark streak in it and the long tapered outline.
My next sinew bow is gonna be a 50" ERC bendy handle bow with sapwood and heartwood. Pat
NOMADIC PIRATE:
That's a good idea Pat ;) ...yeah that little bow is gonna come out real cool ;D ;D ;D ;D
D. Tiller:
Manny, next you need to try a Hupa designed bow at 36" long and pulling in the 50# range. Should make the perfect bow for hunting in that dense jungle brush ya got over there.
