The second bow in the bendy handle row is a bow from a really expressive character stave with wonderful colors.
A selection of the problems (= character,
):
It has a tremendous changing crown causing particularly hollowed out belly;
Portions of ingrown dead wood;
Huge hole in lower limb;
It was hard work to tiller this little bow, but finally a pleasure. The smell of this wood is fantastic, esp. when heated. I did a light heat treatment here.
She still holds a 1 reflex, no set.
The single notched (opposing) tips and the raw hide handle makes a rustic, primitive appearance.
