Painted Paleo Paddle (more pics on page 2)

[Jodocus]

Here's another one:

Red dogwood (cornus sanguinea) extremely hard and dense, a decrowned stave. Two layers of deer sinew, not too thick. Then painted with earth pigments and coal in hide glue. To seal the back off, I glued on some gut, that's why it's shyny. The string is linen.

48" long, 15 oz, 76# at 26" draw.

Dwardo, thomas h, smoke, lostarrow and NeolithicMan, thanks for the kind words. I've been working on this one off and on for a long time, at least a year. Grinding rocks, shredding sinew, witthling. I like how it came out. Ended up way heavier than I expected in the beginning.

Dwardo, I shall try to get some more pics if it gets sunny tomorrow, maybe also a pic on the tree cause it's pretty hard to do the draw shots with the timer and have all the angles right in the end. And maybe a pic of the belly.

That is a killer bow my friend, you really got the most out of that stave I'd say. Cool profiles, curves and paint. Long draw length and heavy weight for such a short bow, I'm amazed when someone is able to pull that off without a ton
of set or a broken bow. Nicely done Jodocus!
I'd be up for more pics of this one too.

Nice bow.
