egyptian chariot bow
« on: July 21, 2010, 08:39:20 pm »
an upate on this bow from the composite thread i posted earlier this year,(,angular composite bow - horn, maple, sinew)..55" tip to tip--56#@29"..white birch bark covering,alternating bands of outside and inside bark. gold silk string.. this bow finished out really nice,,shoots well with an above average speed,,would have been even better if i had waited a couple more months before bracing,but still a good shooter..next one of these i build will be a little shorter  ,maybe 52" . enjoy :)            james

 Sweet, James. That style looks like it ought to fold up in the handle. If it's too light in weight maybe you ought to give me a call?  ::) ;)

A beautiful re-creation of a type of bow we seldom seen done.  I wouldn't have expected that much curved recurve to straighten almost completely out once strung (I would have though the sting limbs would be more curvaceous). 

Bravo! :o

She came out very nice James. Quite a bit different then when I saw it 2 weeks ago. Will you show a close up of the bark wrap.
