A stone is equal to 14#

cowboy:
Thanks Marc - that's cool! Must be an old European measure of weight.
 Steve: Sounds to me that if your 11stone weight and pulling 125 lbs @ 32" - then your plenty stout :). Aught to be able to handle war bows..

Lost Arra:
Marc: what do you use to polish the horn?

Hi Cowboy
Well i don't know about stout, i've never been called that before, now if this bow comes out at 154lb then i have got to try and shoot 100% of my body weight at the moment i am shooting approx 82% of my body weight comfortably, so we will see.

Cheers

Steve

Marc St Louis:
The string on this bow is a FF string, I would have used a 14 strand for better performance but Steve wanted a 20 strand string.

After rough shaping the horn I started out with 100 grit paper and worked my way down to 300 grit. I then polished it up with steel wool.
