ash selfbow - eastern woodlandish

[snedeker]

Edge grain piece, narrow split from trimming up a white ash stave.  60" long, 55#/28".  1 and 1/4 inch wide to taper.   Pin nocks.   One I might give to Delaware Indians with whom I'll be coordinating on an archy project in Delaware.  Left it leather free so far.  Put a dot with a marker to mark the arrow pass.  Plucky little shooter.  I heated in a couple inches reflex and it retains 1/2"

Good lookin bow. Where is your arrow pass, in relation to center? From the full draw it looks lower than center, or at least your bow hand looks that way.

[Traxx]

Just the way i like em.Good job!

[snedeker]

The arrow pass is dead center between the tips.  Must be an optical illusion.  Looks low to me too.

By the way, grain and rings were followed in a little curvy area at the end of the upper limb, which you may or may not be abble to see.

Pics are a little fuzzy,  Must have done the resizing wrong.
