Title: west coast ash
Post by: bubby on October 20, 2014, 08:03:53 pm: hey guy's this is a sinew backed ash bow in the west coast design, she's 54" ttt and pulling about 53# @25" , it's a few inches longer but I got all the demension's from the Ishi bow in one of the book's, I had about 3" of reflex to star and she's pretty flat now(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/ishi%20bow/29ae0fa4-f063-4b86-9828-acbf18bbd88f_zps4cd1fb8f.jpg) (http://s623.photobucket.com/user/bubncheryl/media/ishi%20bow/29ae0fa4-f063-4b86-9828-acbf18bbd88f_zps4cd1fb8f.jpg.html)

Post by: bubby on October 20, 2014, 08:10:47 pm: here's the full draw best I could get with my phone i'm at a slight angle, that arrow is a full 31" so i'm probably drawing it 27"-28",one rabbit silencer on it, and I got the idea for the design from either Jim Hamm's book or native American bows and arrows both good book's, shoot's pretty smooth for the layout just a hair of a buzz on release, hope y'all like her(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/ishi%20bow/dba6af49-07f1-4b39-874b-55b2e4f17dfd_zps5500d367.jpg) (http://s623.photobucket.com/user/bubncheryl/media/ishi%20bow/dba6af49-07f1-4b39-874b-55b2e4f17dfd_zps5500d367.jpg.html)

Title: Re: west coast ash
Post by: bubby on November 12, 2014, 09:31:48 pm: I used the basic design from a bow from a book, so I'm sure there was significance, at least to the builder

What's about trying out natural pigments? I'm sure you will like them.
