Well here is part 2 of the story. (Part 1 is here: http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,56092.0.html)
This is a bow very similar looking to the first one, only a bit more mass, a lot of heated in reflex, the outers let a bit stiffer – but with a good twenty pounds more of drawweight.
After shot in it still holds a nice reflex of 6½”. Bracing that bow isn't an easy thing, but it shoots like a dream, one of my fastest bows for sure.
I try to vary the leather handle work on each bow, here the handle is carved asymmetrical and the leather stitching is on the side. The finger grooves is simple underlays of leather strips.
Another special thing on this bow is: it is near to a centershot, because the whole area of fades and handle makes a whoop to the right side (seen from belly).
Specs:
64#/28”
61” ntn
550 gram mass

Great bow Simon, that's a whole lotta reflex

Beautiful bow. I'm a big fan of BL. Love the leather work
-
great looking bow Simon!
-
Great looking bow,I like it!
-
Simon those look great. I love those subtle ridges you throw in.
You've gone beyond perfect on otherwise simple designs
-
Now, that's some reflex. I bet it is a bear to brace but I also bet it shoots very well. Well done, again! 8)
-
wow sir, well done like always,
Hans
-
One more "wow!" Incredible bow.
-
Another beauty! Love the fingers grooves and side stitching!
-
Thanks everybody!
I've shot her yesterday. Can be I get tired, but seems she gained a few extra pounds. Have to train my muscles ...
Forgot to mention: the whole handle is a bit off to the right which makes a nearly centershot bow. You can see it in the pics a bit.
-
Superb :)
-
Wow, nice tight static bends and reflex, even. Beautiful bows.
-
very nice, I am sure the cast is great,, congrats on such a nice bow,, :)
-
Always a pleasure looking at your bows Simon. Just beautiful!
-
Oh, Wow! Simply beautiful.
-
That bow has got to be a screamer, Simson! Pictures are great.
-
Simson, I love your bows--every time. How did you put those finger grooves under the grip?
Also, don't those sharp edges cause problems in the bendy parts of the limbs?
Again, I am amazed at your skills and artistry.
Danke schön.

Sorry for that late response Jeff!
The fingergrooves are just some pieces of leather lacings, glued on the grip with a drop of super glue. When the handle leather covers it makes the grooves.
Edges: I left them sharp because I like the lines flowing along the wavy limbs and I want the 5 edge cross section to be visible.
Thanks again for your nice comments folks!
