Title: Ash bow for Eugine.
Post by: LJB on September 02, 2012, 11:45:10 am

Hi there!

Eugine wished a bow for her 10 anniversary, so i went to work.
I took a piece of common Ash ( Fraxinus excelcior) and made a little Bow of it.

139,5 Cm. NtN
3,5 Cm wide
0,8 cm wide at the nocks
20#@20"

unbraced, took some set

I stained it (Wallnut) and then sanded the belly:

Handlewrap with some thin leather, some pearls and feathers for dekoration:

Nocks

And without some ammo such a bow is pretty boring for a 10 year old lady

So now i have to send this bow and arrows from Austria into Switzerland, hope the customs are not spoiling this...

Best regards,

Leo
