Tea Pot
bjrogg:
Thank you Brian.
Burnsie I text him some full draw pictures. Before I sanded, put skins on and five coats of tung oil. I put a leather handle on to
Del sounds like you might not want to get her steamed up!
Here’s a picture of Tea Pot hanging in line with some of my other bows. The first three (actually 4 but you probably can’t see the fourth one. Are bend through handle bows. 60” or less and they look pretty long next to Tea Pot

Wow, you got a lot of bend out of a short stave and it looks great! My shortest is a 53" Hickory and I could only get about 25" draw and that was it. The little ditty at the first post was really cool and no doubt she spit's 'em out! Nice line up of bows there.
Pappy:
Nice job on that one BJ, beautiful in all aspects. love the looks and feel of short bows, I just don't shoot them very well ???

Thank you barebo. I was on a short bow kick for awhile. Trying to see how short and stout I could get. Then I went back to my normal (still short) 24” draw and less stressed designs. Probably the better option.
This stave got me on the shorty kick again.
Thank you pappy. I appreciate everything you posted. I do like shooting them and carrying them.
I decided to go with a stiff handle on this one even though I would need a shorter draw. I do think I shoot it better than a bendy with a longer draw and wide handle. I agree they are different to shoot and not for everyone.
I got tea pot 2 off the caul. It is the top stave from belly split I got Tea Pot from. I did a good heat treatment and correction.
