I'm calling this one finished. I've been working on it for several months and letting the sinew cure. It is Yew with 5 layers of sinew, Knox and boiled down rawhide and sinew scraps glue. It is 48" nock to nock, 46# @ 27". It is 2" wide coming out of the handle area and tapering to 3/4" at the tips. I wrapped the handle area with rawhide strips soaked in hide glue three layers thick. I've shot a lot of arrows through this bow and it goes right back to it's rested form after unstringing it.
The orange color I made by running clay through 200 mesh screens and then mixing the silts with hide glue. The black color is Tempera paint. And the bow is sealed with deer tallow and bee's wax.
