much snow and ice outside here - not the best background for a west coast style, so I decided to take the pics inside with help from my son Andy (Thanks!).
Here is the bow:
elm 53#/26"
ntn 49"
bending handle, buckskin wrapping
painted with natural pigments
two layers sinew, wrapped at handle and below tips (red )
w/d:
handle: 32/18 mm
fade (3"): 48/14 mm
midlimb: 50/11 mm
below string kerf: 18/8 mm
enjoy
