« on: August 26, 2013, 04:31:52 pm »
This bow is 59” ntn, HLD (hollow limb design).
Take down with homemade sleeves, one tip is wrapped, one filed selfnock.
String is 6 strands 452X, thickened at the ears with B50.
A buildalong is here: http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,41217.0.html

Asymmetrical bow, the two parts of the take down are the same length.

Wow!  I think we have a bow of the year entry here.  Thanks for the build along on this one.  It was a pleasure to watch a master at work from stave to finished product.

You created a thing of beauty there Simon. Impressive work just getting a bow out of that stave much less one as
beautiful and well crafted as that. Bold move doing a build along on that stave, I think any of us who followed it
would say you did the near impossible.  :)
