You did that board sweet justice. Glad it works for your wife.

Thats a great looking bow with a nice bend. I like the rustic finish and the handle, tip overlays and silk wraps all work together to give it a cool look. I bet your wife is proud of her new bow.

Disciple . . . is push/pull used to string the bow? If so, is there any undue resistance between thread and bowstring when stringing it?

Thanks guys. Hadn't seen the new replies so sorry for late response.

Knoll, I put stringer grooves in the tips so she wouldn't have to but I've string it via push/pull and yes it drags a bit. I think I could have remedied that by building up the finish a bit more there or even coating the wraps in epoxy.

And she is quite a good shot. Next up for both of us is a set of well matched arrow each and a proper target. Haha.

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
