Sinewed Ocean Spray
« on: July 30, 2017, 04:42:42 pm »
This is my first sinewed bow. It's the one I asked all the questions about. It's Ocean Spray with one layer of sinew. It's 53" TTT measured straight across and it's 59" TTT following the bends. 45#@26". Shoots in the high 160's. Best was 3 170's @ 10gpp. Birch bark back and a leather handle wrap that looks a little too much like fish net stockings. It's really nice to shoot. After I shoot this for a bit everything else kicks like a mule. Sinewing wasn't too bad but the bark was a little tough. If I'd realised that it would smooth out as the glue dried I might not has fussed so much and would have ended up with a much better job. I would consider this a successful sinew job so as PatM says there will be more in my future. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Nice bow, DC. The side profile, unbraced, braced and full draw are quite nice. Very well done. :OK

Way to go DC!!!!!! That bow looks awesome. Those are some serious hooks and like Pat said the profiles are money.  8) Congrats my friend!
