Ocean Spray Shorty "inspired by half eye"
« on: December 26, 2014, 06:45:06 pm »
     A couple of weeks ago Steve.b sent me some nice pieces of Ocean Spray...Thanks Steve! Steve introduced me to this "super wood"... ;)  I been wanting to try a shorty after seeing half eye's bows early on in my membership here at PA...It wasn't long after talking to him he sent me a really nice piece of his work that was my inspiration...I never made anything under 60'' so this was really fun...Ended up with around 1'' of set, this is amazing wood.
     Here's the specs...               Ocean Spray sapling 49'' ntn
                                               1 1/8'' wide in center tapering last 10''
                                               3/4'' pin nocks
                                               57# @ 26''

    Sorry for the double money shots, couldn't decide which one to post, thanks Steve b. and Rich... ;)

                                                                                                                                 Don

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Very nice bow Don, so cool to see a short bow bent into a perfect arc like that.

Wow Don you hit that one perfect. I don't think you could get it to bend any better than that. Those short bows still scare me . and I have not went below 60" . good job Don.
