Materials
We make all attempts to
use natural materials in-keeping with the "traditional" theme of the
sport. Various materials include wood, bone and horn.
Handle wrap materials include leather, hemp and cotton. (Dyes are
used for cotton and hemp ropes for classic style wrapping)
We use hickory, oak and
maple staves and various woods locally available for risers. When
available, select bamboo is stocked for future custom orders. We are able to provide
you with a custom made wood bow at almost any stage of
construction. You may wish to do some or most of the final steps
in completing your own custom made bow. |
