elderberry bows part 3/3, 52/28, (No. 24)
« on: March 24, 2013, 12:14:59 pm »
here comes the last one of the row, made from an extraordinary stave with a s-shape in front profile naturally grown.
The s- shape fits perfect as handle, arrow pass is in the upper  curve and nearly centered.
The upper limb was a sabre, is heat corrected.
Nice brown cloud in handle area comes from a rotten zone nearby.
Cross section is a flattish D.
Tips are buffalo, arrow pass is stone powder + glue inlay.
String is 6 strands of 452x

64½" ntn
52#/28"

What a stave, what a bow!
