Bows / Re: Display Bow

I had a friend leave one strung over his fire place for a year or so. It took lots of set and became a dog  But kept the strung shape. But a nice decoration for the fire place.

  We had a guy here in Ca that used to make a lot of black locust bows. He was a top notch bow maker. Big Jim. I could never get over how thin the bows were when he finished. I have a feeling yours will be real thin like that. Good sign.

I can't add much to what the others have said, but it is a beautiful bow in every way.  As far as black Palm goes, Rich Scaffold made several black palm ELBs back in the day that were very nice.  He is also the person that brought the first Ipe to MoJam, which he also used for long skinny ELBs that were very well mannered.  It is a beautiful addition to your bow.   :OK

Quick question, anyone have any idea how many bows a medieval (for arguments sake let’s say 15th century) bowyer would be required to produce block blast? Would be nice to know.

Are you trying to calculate yield for a particular historical scenario?
