Short and wide sinew-backed ERC w/ siyahs
« on: February 03, 2019, 01:30:58 pm »
This is the second sinew-backed bow I started back around September. It's made from billets spliced w/ a tapered finger joint. The siyahs are American Beech. I made her extra wide, 2" out of the fades until mid-limb, then tapering down to 3/8" at the tips. The siyahs look a bit bulky from the side, but they're super thin and hand shock isn't noticeable to me. In fact, she feels very smooth and easy to shoot.  (SH) There are 3 coarses of sinew. Thanks as always for checking it out.  :)

58" including the length of the siyahs
55# @27"
osage on the handle
rattler skins on the back
water buff horn tips

The whole bow is gorgeous. I especially love the transition between the siyahs and limbs. The shape is very graceful.
