This is white ash backed with 3 layers of elk sinew. The sinew has crushed micha set in hide glue on top to give the bow a sparkle in the sunlight. The top tip has a wrapping of quill work. Someone wanted me to make this replica from Hamm and Alley"s encyclopedia #2. The bow has a smooth low stack draw and is a pleasure to shoot. It is 44" long and has a draw of 57# at 22". This was my second attempt. the first was done and I pulled a bonehead move and used a tillering stick with numbers worn off. what I thought was 22" was 25" and it cracked at 25. That one was only 46#. I made this one a little stronger. 3 ply deer sinew string. I have seen someone else on this site replicate this bow a couple years ago. They did a great job but left off the quill work.
Good day
