Sorry only the video at the moment. Hopefully when I have a little more time I will put up some stills.

Kviljo:
Woha! That's a nice one!
Quite a character stave too, considering all the small knots. Impressive! I especially like that you will shorten it to the original length.
Brilliant project, and bow! Very interesting result too :)
(I've been looking into asiatic bows a little recently, and I must say we really shouldn't be surpriced that these longbows also can be 100#+++. They were drawing these weights in the east too. It is perhaps more intriguing that e.g. the Nydam bows seems to have been used in battle, and having been quite limp.)
Rod:
Be interesting to hear how it feels. I had a slab sided bow that was sweeter and if anything slightly faster when I removed wood by radiussing the belly without changing the essential dimensions.
Rod.
