Ishi bow started up/got full draw pic
« on: January 17, 2013, 08:00:28 pm »
got this piece of ash reduced down ready to sinew, got the dimensions from the drawing that pope made, I'll have to check and see if I adjusted the lengthaccording to Ishi's measuring methods, anyhow once I get the sinew on it will be awhile before I get back to it, Bub
