Thuja paddle 15#/26” (No. 142)

Probably the lightest weight bow ever built by me. Not seriously a bow, she has to be kept out of the wind to prevent lift off. But a lil kid may be getting happy with her.

Design is a paddle with flat belly tapering into roundish tips. The tips got hemp ring nocks (glue secured). The string is fixed with a ‘tsuru’ knot on the lower tip and with a self-securing ear at the upper tip.

Ten little holes from fallen out dead branches makes a nice side effect.

All in all, this species of wood isn’t a real bow wood.
