Ash and Silk

Pat, the handle wrap is a leather cord, although I do like hemp. Heres an old hemp backed, hemp handled red oak bow.

Thanks Medecine, Xin and Nugget.
Thanks gmc,  The bow is 1 5/8 inch wide at the fades (which are pretty short) and remains 1 5/8 for 2/3 of the limb.  The outer 1/3 tapers to 1/2 inch.  Its 64inch ntn. I think Ash likes steam, but takes a little extra set.  I also think it is a very durable wood, great for dragging through the brush.

Thanks, Gabe. Doesn't appear to have taken much set in the photo. Maybe a bit wider next time would solve some of the set issues. The ash I have feels pretty light, thin ringed, so proably a couple inches wide for me. I had some thoughts of a homie down the road with what I have, one day, maybe. Thanks for the response, Greg.
