here comes the last one of the row, made from an extraordinary stave with a s-shape in front profile naturally grown.
The s- shape fits perfect as handle, arrow pass is in the upper  curve and nearly centered.
The upper limb was a sabre, is heat corrected.
Nice brown cloud in handle area comes from a rotten zone nearby.
Cross section is a flattish D.
Tips are buffalo, arrow pass is stone powder + glue inlay.
String is 6 strands of 452x

64½" ntn

Very very nice! You do excellent work sir. You should do a build along on how you do the in lays. They are very clean! Thanks for sharing
