Last of the elm boards.
« on: May 06, 2007, 10:24:33 am »
I have finished up the last of my elm boards with this bow, it is 66" long, 55# at 27", 1.5 at the fades and tapers down to .5" at the nocks. I had no real problem with the making of this bow and it shoots among my best. Since I have already made a bow similar to this one I wanted this one to be unique in its own way so I painted on the decorations are meant to be a dedication to Saint Sebastian, patron saint of archers. The inscription is a slightly altered slightly abridged version of the prayer of Saint Sebastian written in a second alphabit of mine that I use for certain entries in my journal. How does it look overall?
