This has always been my favorite style of bow, and I always wanted to make one from paint that I made from local rock. It took me a long time, over a year since I started this bow, to find the color I was looking for. Making paint was a new process to learn for me as well, the red is from a road cut that infound when I decided to take the back way to work one day, the white is an ash layer from a dirt road that intake to get to elk camp, and the black is juniper charcoal.
. The bow is 52” ntn, draws 53 lbs @ 26”. I had trouble after first tillering the bow. The tiller was great while I shot it unfinished, but when I put the finish on it and reshot it, it was way off. I have no idea why, so I retillered it and refinished it and right now it is much better. For such a short bow, it’s really nice to shoot and doesn’t stack like I expected. The middle of the limb did crack for most of the upper limb, but it’s only cosmetic. The string is flax for now until I get a sinew string made, and the grip will get switch out for some elk hide that is in the bark solution. Thanks for checking it out.
