Holmegaard bow. Updated!
Hawkdancer:
Very neat bow! I'm psyching myself up to start a yew rendition of the Meare Heath bow. Minor details like how to best lay it, etc. Target draw weight will be 40-45#. Relearning how to post pictures will help (lol) :fp

Aksel:
Thanks for kind comments. This is such a perfect design. Short, every part of the bow doing some work.
willie : The original Holmegård was made from a 2" sapling. I used a 4" sapling, so to get to the right cross section where thickness and width stay true to the original I had to round its back sides to get that high back crown shape of a very small sapling.
Hawkdancer: I look forward seeing that Meare Heath bow! It is a very curious big bow, worked on all sides and with the handle section sunk down a few year rings on the back. Maybe safest to avoid that dubious feature...!
