Sisal backed, painted short bow (updated... broken bow)
Pat B:
Very nice little bow with beautiful bend. Well done. :OK
GlisGlis:
Bending looks very good
I like your bow alot and I think I'll make something along this way
I'm just a little puzzled by the weights and math
Are you sure of the numbers?
--- Quote ---Pre-sisal weight 17.6 grams
9 grams of sisal used
Weight after backing 20.4 grams

Thanks yall! These short bows are fun. Challenging to shoot, but tons of fun to mess around with. Not to mention it also fits in my quiver!
GlisGlis, just re-read that and rechecked my notes, haha, decimals where decimals shouldn't be...
Here's something that should make more sense,
Pre backing weight 176 grams
Added 9 grams of sisal
After glue up and trimming the excess, bow weighed 204 grams, just under 1/2 lb
I'll correct the original post, thanks for catching that

Looks like your getting about all you can from that piece of oak. I like it! Great use of resources. A fine example of what can be done.

Nice bow. The arrow looks great too.
I like how you split the board and chased a ring. I just finished a Osage board bow I did the same way.
