Primitive Archer

thanks guys! this is basically the bow and design you will find in the books and howto's of the early past century - it was the the early days of the asl. its described like that by howard hill and others...and they also suggested hornnocks like that. At that time it was the logic further development of the victorian longbow which was the dominant design up to then - see e.g. Saxton Pope.
I like this design very much.
Tuomo, its somewhat 66" ntn. the dark area? probably you mean that brown rest of bark? ....this stave didn't ask for sap-reduction - it therefore still shows some remaments of bark and bast.
cheers

It’s dry 3days at32 oz I will finish it in the next few days. Tomorrow I’m busy.

Thank you, will try it out.

Aussie, could you post the same for your design maybe in the other thread?
(just hoping to follow along here with virtualbow)

Beautiful bow. Excellent craftsmanship.

The heads about done, just need some drying time and sealer. A friend brought me an old wild bore head he found on a farm west of Clarksville, decided to euro mount it also, we don't have any on the farm yet but am sure it's just a matter of time they are moving this way they say.
