I've had problems making 40# ash flat bows so I'd say you were doing good with this bow for sure.  ;)

With reflex tips and working handle would not  be a problem with crysals in the tips, but I think this will cause stringfollow in middle part. In my bow grip is very hard and it back a lot of tips.
The bow looks great. I can not wait you to finish it.

Hi Fusizoli, authentic or not, I think that bow has a wonderful braced and drawn profile.  Chris Boyton (a top class professional English bowyer) has made warbows with recurved tips, and recurved tips do make appearances in paintings of the period, so I think its fine.  Great in fact !  ;D

fusizoli:
Yes George it takes set in the middle section, but it gave the bow a nice unstrung arc :) Anyway it had a natural deflex in the grip area.

I'happy to find ash like this. With this thicknes and weight it looking a warbow material to me :)

Thanks Bob the nice comment!
