Nothing much to say, she is a low weight English Longbow (for a Lady?).
The stave was a split off from a regular, fumed for 5 days.
Only little heat corrections were necessary.
Tip are very narrow, tough overlay and arrow pass inlay is green dyed stabilized maple.
Handle is hemp cord (with green earth pigments rubbed in to match overlays) over leather patches to thicken up.
Only minimal set, about ½.

I still have big problems with my health, but as DC says I'm still kickin' around in my shop.

Thanks for the info! I understand you don't boil the ammonia or anything like that, you just let the ammonia evaporate into the tube?
-
Very inspiring work as always!
-
Very nice ELB Simon. The artificially aged osage is very cool looking.
BTW...I think we're back or at least will be soon. ;)
Hope you can get past your health problems.

Please see reply above

Yep exactly - no boiling or fire or smoke, just the damps of the ammonia. Be sure to have your tube sealed, be careful with ammonia!
-
Good to know. Have you ever tried heat tempering after fuming, or is that asking for toxic gasses?

No, I haven't tempered after fuming. But I think it should work. Just let the gasses evaporate before, meaning let the bow sit in fresh air as long as it was in the pipe.
