With a short string, that's gonna be a stout bow.
alfadee:
looks really good. a little more drawn the limbs should be totally straight.
what draw weight are you aiming for?

welch2:
That's a trick question ... I am trying to copy the dimensions of one of the bows from Tut's tomb ,so whatever weight it turns out is what it is ... And on the other hand I am giving this bow away ,it's for the annual bow trade over on paleo planet , and the guy who will get it draws 50-60 pounds at 27" ,, so I didn't reflex it as much as the original when it started to look like a pretty heavy bow. I hope he likes it ,and can pull it .

I got this great big piece of bark in the mail , Thanks Eddie !
I have read that you soak it for a while to get the layers to separate ,and make it thinner . Has anybody ever done this ? Should I cut some strips of bark off then soak them ?
