Title: ERC sinew backed
Post by: mwosborn on March 10, 2013, 01:51:00 PM

After shooting this in for a month or so I decided to go ahead and finish it up. 64" ntn, 49# @27. My first erc and first try with sinew. Stained the back with a wine colored stain and the sinew gave it a interesting texture. Belly is not stained has a sliver of heartwood left after tillering. A few pics...

Thanks guys - appreciate the comments. It was a fun one to make.

Cory - it shoots nice. Been shooting it for awhile now - about 18 yards in I can group them pretty well with her. (for me anyway :D )

Here is a full draw pic - talked my wife into going outside since it quit snowing.

Very nice looking bow. For your next one try a 57" so you get the full potential of the sinew.
