Hollow Limb Hickory Longbow 40#@28"

Here's a link to a slideshow of the titled bow.  This bow stave was quite challenging to say the least.  Lots of knots and humps and knots.  There was a little bit of limb twist but I didn't bother removing it.  Belly was finished in steel wool and vinegar and the back various leather dyes.  I like to do a light sanding on select surfaces and then go over it with fiebings vintage leather dye.  Sorry about the music I'm running out of options  ;D.

See pictures below.  I have been having trouble with Imgur but I think I got it figured out!

Great looking tiller for a tough looking stave.
