Hi guys!
This bow I finished in February, and I shot it several times.
I wanted to do a design like the Sudbury bow which is made of hickory and 65" ntn. Mine is maple - got the same width: 1,75" but is longer: 68" ntn.
The tribe which this bow belonged were named Wampanoag, so I named her.
The stave had some deflex about 1,5" it took set about another 1,5" and string follow is also about 1,5".
The bow has a wiggle in the fade, another wiggle in the outer mid-limb and some twist - all happening in the same limb.
I didn't correct anything just the twist i compensated with a sidenock.
The handle I wrapped with thin leather, and the back I painted with thinned carpenterglu mixed with pigments.
Final coating is resin dissolved in alcohol. First layer for the belly was with pigments too.
The tips got a thin cow horn reinforcement.
The all around arrow passes are just decoration as i figured out they don't protect any - arrow passes 1,25" above center.
