This bow is from a stave that was sent to me by Badly Bent. 64" tip to tip. Heat treated with a slight flip of the tips. The stave had some cool curves which my pitiful photos don't show. The bow is 1 1/2" wide at the fades with four and a half inches of handle which barely bends. Came in at 40lbs at 28" with about an inch of set. This is the first hunting weight bow that I have built that weighs well under a pound. It is light as a feather and has great cast. It popped a tiny splinter and I wrapped it up with some black B50 and got carried away with some decorative wrapping, partially inspired by the ancient wrapped European bows..... I don't know much about that, but this thing shoots great.
