Rawhide backed Black Locust Shortbow

(1/3) > >>

dreamcraft_archery:
My latest creation. The bow is drawing 35 lb at 23", 45,5" ntn. At widest limbs are 2 1/4". I backed it with cow rawhide. Had to thin and sand it a bit. To glue the backing I used hide glue. At rest the bow comes back to slight reflex.
Building this stick I was inspired by American Natives bows.

Check out also build along video:
