ERC/ELB
« on: April 24, 2013, 03:34:27 pm »
So this is my second ERC bow.  I really slowed down and took more time on the finishing. This one is my first attempt at a ELB design. It is 72" long. 1.5 in wide tapering to 5/8 at the tips. Dog bone raw hide. Cow horn tip overlays. the stave was really clean it only had one small pin knot on the back.  The stave had some deflex in lower limb.  I didn't want to heat it knowing that it is already a difficult wood type so I left it in there.  This was my first raw hide backing, and i really like raw hide. Its easy.  The bow is  52# @ 27 .  Hope you like.

Really nice job on that one. That sure is some pretty wood. :)

Beautiful!
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?
