90# + MR pattern in ash
Rod:
Nice. I would like slightly less give in the handle and like to see the tips come round a little more. And do I see a homage to the master in the style of the horn nocks?
Rod.
sagitarius boemoru:
Oh Rod, there is no shame to copy the best work around. ;D I get better as I make more of them, sometimes I make slightly better than these when I put them on laminated stave.

Marc St Louis:
Very nice Jaro. The Ash I've harvested up here would not be up to the task
Kviljo:
Still, it's Victorian nocks :P
A friend of mine recently told me that Hungarian ash is another species than the regular european ash.
Good looking bow, and nice round tiller!
sagitarius boemoru:
It is not. >:D There is more than one style to victorian nock, but if you look at the woodcuts of Henry the VIII. meeting the emperor Maxmilian the archers around have all those curved hornnocks in very similar shape like this. And that is beginning of 16. century.
