"S'bout Time" ! Well, that's her name. I wonder why!
Finally got her done. She pulls 48#@26", lost most of her reflex but still shoots nice. The skin(from Clint) is a yellow phased timber rattler and is over 3 layers of sinew, 2 layers of cow leg sinew and one of moose leg sinew. Tip overlays are cow horn and the handle wrap is double strands of hemp cord, one tan the other brown with a floppy rest.
Here are a few pics...

Whoo hoo, nice work Pat as always. She bends a lot like Elkie. There is nothing wrong with taking your time, haste makes waste.

You sure know how to dress one up and still keep the primitive look .i think alot of the new talented builders are still a step behind the old master.

Thanks guys. I don't build many any more so when I do I like to make them look good. Clint was a big help sending the snake skins to me for this bow.
