Crafting a yew character selfbow.
This bow is the quickest I have actually ever made. The stick is 38″ pointer to tip drawing 45lbs at 18″. Really enjoyable task. There was one huge knot in the middle of the limb simply listed below the deal with so I have actually chosen to hollow it. Tillering this bow was a substantial difficulty for me. When eliminating sapwood from the back I felt too positive for a while and I have actually broken some development rings on the back. To strengthen this area I covered it with lineen twine and sealed with conceal glue. In the end I’m extremely pleased with the outcome and with this sweet shortbow. I will be making a couple of brief arrows devoted for this bow. I’m extremely curious how quick might it be.
Let me understand what do you believe people.
All the very best!!!
