Hey fellas,
     Here's the lastest bow. Part of a trade I made with thomas h.  The first pic post is some shots for the color scheme, the last two pics are of a genuine bow, and a pair of crow leggings (where I got the design pattern from). Second set of pics is the usual unbraced/ braced/ full draw etc.
     Tom said to make the bow 40# @ 25" and that's what she came in at. It's a self bow of ash, and the double curves were steam bent. I have relieved the top limb to even the bend out since looking at the full draw pic. The bow was smoked, and greased. the paint is acrylic, and then "knocked the new" of it with a little 600 grit. Final finish is 4 coats of mink oil.
      Hope ya like it Tom,
rich

MAN you keep amazing me rich! Very nice paint job. Nice curves too!
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

one of my favorite bows in a while, very nice sir, the paint job came out exellent. I thought double curve was like a gull wing, or is that triple curve?

Legionnaire,
       I based this bow on the artifact pictured in the first set of pics, it was cataloged as "double-curve" so thats what I called it. This bow's shape is similar to the woodland "double curves" of the Algonquian and Iroquoian groups who had them, and they were the same profile, just a lot more subtle.
