Questions.
How do you like that maple as a backing? What is the grain orientation for that maple peice? I've got two large flitches 9' long by 8X10" ish. I try not to carve maple but that is originatly what I cut them for. I wasn't doing bows then. I looking at them as cores.
When drawing a shorties how do you know how deep to draw? I'm a traditional 28" right to my anchor point. I have no idea where 24" would be.

thank's APH
prairie it's plain sawn, and what I've used for backing has been great, as far as draw, use short arrows,with 25-26" arrows the broadhead will let you know when to stop pulling, that arrow in the full draw has a piece of tape so i knew i got to FD, i usually use the timer for the FD but i wanted to hit the mark and told my wife when the tape disapered take the pick,Bub

Very nice indeed! That tiller looks great. I got a nice piece of ipe to work on but I can't decide what to do with it. After seeing this, another shorty might be in order. Josh
-
That's a really fine job, Bub, I still haven't had the guts to shorten mine, even with a bendy handle. It's still 66". After seein yours, though, maybe I'll work up the courage.
-
Nicely done Bub. Tiller is spot on. If I could only get mine to round out like that I would be happier than a pig in the mud. Danny

Good looking little bow,nice job. :)

Very nice Bub!! Love the shorties. I think they really test a guys skills. I may take a run up to Bend latter this spring for Business might just have to swing by your place and see if you'll let me fling a couple with that shooter :) .... I promise not to draw it more than 23 >:D

that would be cool coaster, Bub
