Title: Mary Rose Warbow.
Post by: Bowman on August 31, 2015, 03:05:52 pm

Some pics. Tiller unfinished. Perhaps 110-115# -32"
Norwegian Taxus Baccata.
Perfect stave. 4 small knots. Tudor cow horn side nocks from Highland horn
Linen string
Come back later with finished tiller. Until then,  a piece of a nice stave. ;-)

Bjornar, which MR bow did you copy?

One of the moderate bows I think. I'm not that strong yet. I pull only 100# . 1955 mm n.t.n. 77"
