Awesome bow Simon.  I just got a nice red elm stave from halfeye, and I was thinking about trying a static like yours.  Hope mine turns out half as nice as that one.  Great looking bow.

Very nice. Perfectly shaped, nice clean lines and great looking bend. Tip work is really fine as well.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

It looks perfectly balanced.

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

(That question came already on the other thread)

The string bridges are lather soaked in thin super glue after applying. I make those bridges often on statics, reasons:
1. more security while bracing the bow
2. more security on non flat limbed bows, the string can't slip off.
3. steeper angle of the lever, you get a bit of increase
4. an indexer: when everthing is alright you hear nothing when string lift off while drawing the bow. A gentle 'click' indicates the string is riding over the ridge - the levers are not in line.
