Wow! Best replica of this bow I have seen. Amazing work that you do Chuck.

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Thanks everyone.
Simson- I found some measurements after I finished this bow and the Smithsonian bow was a little narrower. No data on how thick it was and how far it was drawn. 20" for a 40" paddle bow is far from overdrawn. If you reduced the weight a little you could i'm sure draw it to 24"+.

Joe- Yup. Loving being out of the city in the new house.

Goat- Thanks again for being my yew source
