Crimson Birch Bow

Description

This natural, primitive style bow is made from young birch hand sculpted to shape. Unstrung, it is 120 cm tip to tip and 3 cm think at its core. The original bark reinforces the center and provides a beautiful array of natural colour to the bow. The remainder has been stained a wine red with minor etching on the interior side. It can be strung with a single nylon cord or quadruple twined hemp depending on the desired pull or aesthetic.

In addition to being a decorative piece, the weapon is completely functional capable of firing horizontally at a standing target or in a arc for distance shooting. Note that due to it's primitive construction functionality should not be compared with commercial hunting bows. This is merely a creative, recreational alternative to purchasing a bow. Accuracy may vary depending on ammunition and skill.
