Fusizoli's double curve ash
« on: June 28, 2011, 12:13:17 pm »
Hy!

This one is 45.5 long ntn and about 55# at full draw. Not mesured yet hehe  ::) At about 24, max 25 draw.
Made from flowering ash, heat treated belly, curves and corrections made with dry heat. Sorry for the tiller string :)

Painted with earth pigments, coat is bees-carnauba wax.

Rich have made a bow like this few months before, and that give me the inspiration to make one. He posted a museum pic and this made after that pic.



Others posted in shortbow builders topic...(not for bom  ;) )













cheers Z

Very nice, the tiller and string angle is excellent
The paint on back looks quite good, it is with a hide glue? What is width at handle?

I would like to use egg or hide glue for the paint, but our climate conditions not allowe that. May casein would be a choice but used a transparent acryl wood glaze this time. It gives a perfect bond for the pigments in all condition and a matt surface like natural materials.

All other materials are natural :) The string will be linen with sinew wrapping on the nock point.
If I can get backstripp sinew, will make some siew strings too.
