I made this bow out of a 4"dia Red Cedar sapling.I backed it with Hickory as thin as I could get it. 54" 50#@26. 1&3/8" to 1/2" tips. It took 1&1/2" of set. Shoots quick. Turkey Poison

Nice job. you did real good for such a short bow. Love the skin job, those are copperheads on the mid limbs? I haven't seen that pattern in the snake. I built a bamboo backed juniper that actually gained reflex as I tillered it, I'm thinkin bamboo backed red cedar would be great too. Once again nice work Kendall.   :thumbsup:

Thank you fella's. Those are Copperhead. They were alittle short so I came up with the overlays from scraps.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Upper limb is an inch longer then the lower and it bends thru the handle just slightly.
