Primitive Archer

Yeah, nice new ride.  Glad to hear you are just getting old and won't have to have surgery.  Hope the shot gives you some relief from the shoulder pain.
 It will be strange to see that area behind the eating area with fewer trees but at least they didn't fall on the roof. Never a dull moment around Twin Oaks. Just the way it should be.

Like that new ride !  Bob

thanks guys! this is basically the bow and design you will find in the books and howto's of the early past century - it was the the early days of the asl. its described like that by howard hill and others...and they also suggested hornnocks like that. At that time it was the logic further development of the victorian longbow which was the dominant design up to then - see e.g. Saxton Pope.
I like this design very much.
Tuomo, its somewhat 66" ntn. the dark area? probably you mean that brown rest of bark? ....this stave didn't ask for sap-reduction - it therefore still shows some remaments of bark and bast.
cheers

It’s dry 3days at32 oz I will finish it in the next few days. Tomorrow I’m busy.
