I asked Pat awhile back about sinewing a bow that I had made after it was tillered and came in a few pounds short. He said I should plan ahead and make it. Well this one is a result of his advise. Putting the sinew on was something.....lets just say...differant
56" t2t Sinewed Hickory backed IPE. 52 @ 28 1 1/8" at the fades. Straigfht taper to pin 1/8" nocks. This is just a simple design, nothing fancy bow. I glued on a strike plate and wraped the handle with brushed leather. Hope ya enjoy the pics.

Might get those fades working a bit more, a little hingy on the bottom limb out of the fade.
