Making a Penobscot Double Bow

Building Penobscot inspired bow from scratch. I used black locust wood. The main bow is around 56“ long, back bow is around 27“ tip to tip. The bow draws 40-45 lbs at 26“. Handle wrap is lineen twine hide glue. Bow string are made from lineen twine too. What I love about bow building is working with new bow woods and challenging myself with different designs. I was fascinated Penobscot bow for a long time. Finally I decided to try myself and build this bow. The bow shoots sweet and I’m very happy with it. Let me know what do you think. Rowan bows made similar bow before me :) Thank you for watching! All the best!
