Thanks everyone. RidgeRunner, I used dry heat (with oil) for the tips. They splintered :o on the back but I removed the splinters with no ill effect. ;D
Justin, That shed is my house. >:( ;) Just outside the kitchen window. The light is always even there in the evenings and it the only clear wall I have for a background.
Skyler, Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the same wood. Be sure to split that 1/2 log into 2 staves. ;)
 I appreciate the positive comments. I really don't like short bows but I'm stuck making them lately. I have a few more in line. ::)     Pat

I too love this bow. The skins and rawhide and the tuft are just so cool. Almost looks like you raided an Indian museum.

Thanks everyone.  ;)  One really doesn't need much osage to make a good bow. Before I added the decorations she weighed 12.2oz(mass weight) The wood in this bow is quite dense and dark in color. I'll have her big brother(66" ELB style) done in a week or so. Can't wait to compare the 2.     Pat

I know you've been after a short bow for a shile Pat.  Got a fine tiller on that and nice decorations.
I have no idea what working with rawhide is like  - how thick is it?  what is consistency?

That is one neat bow, Pat.  Congrats on the artistry. The rawhide actually dressed it up very nicely.  Nice full draw! Gulp :-\ !  Kind of scary pulling a short bow back? Got you bookmarked for Sept Self Bow of the Month, too.
