This bow is heat corrected for string alignment and untwisting (particularly). It got an additional set back handle, I started with 2” and now after shot it still holds 1¼”.
After roughing out the stave was fumed for three days (back was prepped with osage soup). A slight sanding after the fuming process brought out an appearance like bark.
The belly got an additional iron-chloride staining after the tillering, and the combo of stain fuming and sanding brought a more or less olive tone.
A knot hole from a dead little branch in the lower tip was used as an unique looking string fixing (string has an ear here too). The upper tip is a common triangular shaped pin nock.
The handle got a glued on fish skin from atlantic cod.
