70#@ 30 Asymmetric design. 74.5 long, 72 ntn
The stain is mostly bloodroot. The backside has bloodroot blended with charcoal and cornflower blues rubbed into the interlocking ridges. Theres a big harmless drying check in the handle stained with pokeberry juice. The pith is still visible since the sapling was only about 2.5 at the widest.
The upper limb sits just about dead flat and the lower holds an inch and a half of reflex. I always try to put the reflexed limb on top like a yumi but the location of certain knots forced my hand. I think this is contributing to the very positive looking tiller at brace. Its been pretty humid so I was aggressive with the heat treat and humidity management. The stave was quick dried in a month but I got carried away and it sat in the dry box all summer.
Update: heres a video of how I stained the bow
