Tried finding ;D some round here, super thin layers. Feel like cigarette papers

All finished with a full draw photo. It’s pulling 43-44 lbs at 24” now. The exciting cracking noises from the birch bark was fun  ;D

4 3/4” of reflex when it was left for a week but around 4” years ver night.

Tiller has changed a little, I’ll get it shot in before I make any adjustments.

Moderators; is it possible to move this thread to how to’s and build alongs? Seems like all Superdavs time and explanations are less likely to get lost over there and more likely to be seen in the future.

That's one sweet little bow!  Glad it turned out so well for you.  Superdave helped me through my first sinew backing a couple years ago too.  Really awesome how willing he is to help others.

My goodness, you got all the bend that had to offer! How much you want it to bend? "Yes." No, I many how many inches? "All of them."
Tread softly and carry a bent stick.

Dont seek your happiness through the approval of others
