finished tuomi recurve "sleepy warrior"

(1/4) > >>

a finnish native:
ok so here you go. dimensions are 44" long NTN and draws 42#@21"
the nocks have too much mass, but because Tuomi (european bird cherry) (prunus padus) is somewhat soft wood (and this one has been steamed) I decided to leave some extra on them. The writing is with old viking runes. It is written in finnish and says "unelias soturi" and in english "sleepy warrior" I named her that, because my friend that shall be the new owner of it, is always sleepy when making bows  :D. the lower limb simply says "jussille", "to jussi". The bow shoots harder and faster than I would have imagined for only 42#. the hole in the lower limb scared me, but it seemed to be harmless.
enjoy!
