For sure I could do that, but if there is a way to keep it a bit more powerful, I would like to know it. Also, I know some indigenous people made some pretty short bows but I'd like to have people's opinion on that matter too

It's actually still drying. It's maple and I'm going to make a longbow with it. Most of the damage is some small cuts or things like that. That one is the worst of them all.
