aaron:
Welcome to PA! This type of bow is hardly ever seen on this site- we're gonna need details on how you made it! Also, it doesn't really even exist without a full-draw picture.
Pat B:
Is it just elk antler or is it also sinew backed? More details and pics please.
mikekeswick:
Surely it's got to be sinew backed?
Pretty cool bow! Full draw picture or not I can see it's a beauty. :)
Redhand:
I don't have alot of pics of the process. It is two pieces of elk antler lap spliced together with hide glue. I put 3 layers of sinew on it and wrapper the splice with sinew i didn't put any pins through the lap splice. It seems to be holding together pretty well. I will be getting ready to attempt another elk antler bow. ill keep pics of the build. here are a couple of pics braced and full draw on the tillering board.
