scalloped bows have been my favorite eastern woodland type bow for a long time.one of these days im going to get brave and make the one where just the belly is scalloped in Allely and Hamm's book.
one day i hope theres a volume 3 for some of the other bows out there.Tony

update: tillered to brace, then low 40's at 23 inches. final specs on bow are 1 1/2 wide at its widest, 47 in. long 40 lbs + at 23 inches. i stained it with those walnut husks. came out nice. heres a pic. next to my osage sapwood bow for comparison .im going to put a clear finish over this to hold it on there. otherwise if it got wet or hands were sweaty it wear off. i dont usually do this. but for this one i will.getting ready to order a gut string.i made a hemp string for it for the moment. shot it yesterday. its o.k. not my best, not my worst. now some decorating and a couple arrows for it.Tony
