The half is the middle half of the back. Not 1/4 of each edge to give it a little crown in the middle.

Traxx, I did make an attempt of an exact replica of a Ishi bow a couple years back complete with salmon skin glue I made. It was my first attempt with that glue. The glue did not hold the sinew and it broke near the finished tiller.

Chuck - I'd like to make a similar bow.  I don't have access to Juniper but I have some Yew.  Have you tried similar designs with Yew?  Successful?
