This is my latest bow. It's sugar maple harvested in 2021. Very tight grain and growth rings, took a little bit more set than desired but has not been heat treated. The stave had a dog leg on one side and some reflexed kinks on the other so tillering was very slow due to the many crooks and kinks. It has a working handle.
Specs: 52# at 27". 69.5 inches overall, 68.75 ntn. 1 3/16" inch from handle through midlimb, down to 3/8" at the tip. 18oz mass.
Set immediately after unstringing is 3/4". Down to 1/4" at rest.
Horn tip overlays and a cloth handle wrap with buckskin borders. I put a bit of padding under the wrap to increase grip comfort. Finish is one layer of tung oil, the 2 of spirit varnish and a top of paste wax. String is 18 strand b55 Dacron.
Thanks for looking!
