Redhawk, I'm always impressed by your bows, especially your joinery of fixing the riser and limbs together. Could you do a buildaong, or a write-up of your process for doing this?

Drawweight is 46lbs/23".
More pics on my German blog: http://www.holzbogenxplosion.de/index.html/ein-flightbogen-aus-roter-eibe-im-vintage-stil/.
I had been( still I am) a cabinetmaker and have had the luck to learn a lot of the traditional wood-joinery by a master craftsman.
There are other possibilities to fix a handle too.
I' ll do a build-along on my blog: https://redhawk55.wordpress.com/ as soon as my 8 puppies will give me the time.

Marc St.Louis knows a lot about joining handles too.

Yes the pictures on your page do it even more credit. Can't wait for that build-along.

Wow that's a beauty. Love your other bows as well. What's the string made out of?

redhawk55:
String is made of flax, yellow- dyed.
One strand stands a bit more than 1lbs, so the string is made of 42 strands.
Finally the string has been waxed a bit.
