That is a beautiful bow.  I was reading about the original.  Did the original have sinew on to keep the string in place?  Or was there some other method?

Can you take a close up picture of the string attach on the bow how you did it? 

Is it the actual measurements that make it a Holmegaard?  The wood species?  or more?
Thanks!

Love the natural look of it.

By the way, handled one of your bows this weekend and spent a little time talking about you behind your back with Ken Woody!

Beautiful bow Chuck, and your bends are always just right.
A plentiful good bow wood that no one cares about sounds like a good idea.

Great job, Chuck!  Got to find a piece of good elm!  And specs!  One of these days, maybe a complete bow will come out of the bogs to really enlighten us "moderns".
