hello folks,
I was a bit disappointed about my last posted td BL bow (a few months ago), she got a splinter popping up on the back. The fail was probably caused from 'wrong' heat (around the edges to the back) while heat treating the belly.
Well, I'd like to have a take down, so I built a new one , my 5th attempt (never give up!).
Many thanks to my friend Simon for the stave. It`s Elm with some sapwood. I used dry heat for string alignment and steam for the soft recurves. Tip overlays and arrow pass are from buffalo horn, for the handle I took some stingray leather. As you can see I left some extra rings on the back for the sleeves.
For finishing I always use „danish oil“, actual 5 layers
Measurements:
ntn:~ 61,5“
tt: ~63“
width at fade: 43 mm, thickness at fadeout ~15mm
52# at 26“
Hope you like it, enjoy
