Title: Little ash 35# 28"
Post by: druid on June 24, 2011, 02:43:44 am

Little hunter bow for a lady. 35# at 28" but she will draw to 27". It was very bug-damaged little ash sapling. 65 ntn, tips 10mm. Handle 30 x 18 mm, tapering directly from the handle. Some nice knots on the back, walnut stained and bee waxed. Set 1 1/2" after a lot of torture, drawing to 30" and 24 hours on the brace. No heat treatment. On first pic it is left one.
