That's tremendous work!  That really must be something for early tension...as said, the artwork and finish is OUTstanding!

Great bow! Do you make your own paints?

Yeah, I use homemade paints
a mixture of stone powder, hide glue and a bit of Soda (makes the paint creamy)


Many thanks to all for your kind words, I really like to play with Indian bows ....

I made a bad mistake in that post.
The correct braceheight for this bow is 4½" not 5¼", not know how this could happen. While in a hurry with the pics, I obviously crabbed the wrong string so braceheight and reflex have the same amount (6").
Btw. this bow is not that hard to string, because the wide limbs makes it stable. For this bow I use the step through method.
The silencers take away a good amount of the string sound. The early tension is very high. I have done a new drawweight measurement, a pic is added. It shows that the bow has gained drawweight (obviously still sinew curing) and high increase of weight in the first inches.
