I finished my first successful bow, a 45 inch musclewood shortbow (self bow). The draw weight is between 20-30 lbs. it includes a repair made of cotton string and woodglue. This style would have been the first all-purpose bow adopted by all cultures. I name him “baby shark”

my Dad wrangled a peice of locust wood (yellow curvy guy) and i derived 2 staves from a downed maple (maybe) log (big straight beefy staves). The journey continues.🙏🏹
