Elm static 45/28 (No. 41)
« on: April 07, 2014, 08:49:56 am »
As requested here are some pics from bow No. 4 (see: http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,45969.0.html)

This bow came from a very nice and clean elm stave. Only some side corrections were necessary, done with the heatgun. Tips are horn overlays from water buff.
The bow is 62”ntn

Enjoy

That bow is just super nice all around. Your tiller is so good, and the curve on the tips is impressive. How did you bend those tips in? Dry heat? Steam?
