My first hornbow

<< < (4/4)

Aaron H:
It’s just under 48” (121cm) measured along the belly. 

I put several dozen more arrows through it in the last couple months, and then covered the back with birch bark a couple weeks ago. I still need to string it and shoot it now that the bark is on to check for spots that didn’t get glued down tight.  Then I’ll be able to put a finish on the bow.  I’ve decided to go with real shellac flakes as a varnish, as it would have been somewhat traditional.  I also have some natural pigments that I will mix in with some of the shellac to use as my accent paints.
