Hi all,
Just finished the handle and wraps for this cherry bow which is the last of the cherry staves i have. All of the rest made nice shooting bows for other people and this was the last i had, not the best of the bunch but one for me.
Bow is 59 ntn like most except this one has stiff tips and a stiff handle unlike my last few from this. Its nice to be able to try a few tiller types with a certian wood to understand what it likes. This one prefers a bend through the handle
Anyways 59ntn, 50lbs @28, slight flipped tips 2 heat treats, buffalo horn nocks, silk back for 3/4 leather handle which was made up to height for comfort. Set is about an inch relaxing to flat after a little time unbraced.
Better pics in the daytime but hard to get time to take them with our weather.
Out in the woods shooting it in before a proper finish Full draw is a strange angle but the idea is there. Arrow is long at 31, out to about 27. Full draw pose always puts me off.

Thanks for looking all.
