Sinew backed lilac bow
« on: March 05, 2020, 07:35:49 am »
Hi!
I didn't have dry staves for a long time and so I didn't make any bow and there was nothing to post as well :).

Lilac D shape belly
the widest part 1 inch
60'' by the bow 58'' string
44 pounds at 27''
4 layers of sinew covered with goat skin
tru oil

She is actually made like a hornbow. Bamboo core and elm+plam sijahs. Before tillering she had 18cm of reflex and  after tillering holding 12cm of reflex. I should have given more reflex because it feels like the draw can be much longer but my hands are short :).
