Title: Shorties Working On a Shorty
Post by: nlester on September 22, 2012, 02:19:21 pm

I've been inspired to make a short hickory bow after JonW posted his bow a few days ago.  I decided I gotta try to make one.  So, I broke out a hickory stave and decided to get to work.  Oh course, as you can see from the pics, I had plenty of qualified help.  :)  I figured you all could appreciate this.  These guys are ate up with ball and bows!!!

Discussing design possibilities, or just arguing....not sure which

I'm proud to say, these guys aren't afraid to work

I'm hoping to build a short 52" pyramid style bow.  Wish us luck!

Early is right.  They want to get in the middle of everything, so might as well let'em. :)
