That’s a beauty!  I love hickory bows with cambium left on for a nice camouflage looks. Great bend on that bow. Well done!

Nice bow. I see linen on it . How many strands . I’m always looking for superior linen. Arvin

Thanks fellas. Arvin, its 12 strands of Barbour linen size five thread. This thread broke at around 23 pounds. I’ve made a bunch of strings with it and none have broken yet. I’m keeping track of the number of shots I take with some of the bows to see when it starts wearing/breaks

I notice the middle bending handle section seems to start bending of its own accord without taking off much wood.

the bendy handle comes in to play more as you get closer to full draw. I like to leave the tips and the handle area a bit stiff for most of the tillering,  and as Mike (bownarras) sez, let the set tell you when to make those stiffer sections flex a little more.

Nice simple NA designs, Nice!

Thanks, it’s an antler blunt, thats what I use for all my blunts..stuff is really tough and heavy too, to match my broadhead weight.
