Bow number ALB 111 Ipê backed with Ash, buffalo horn nocks, oiled finish 72½” between nocks, 30 lb at 28” draw, 32 lb at 29” draw, tillered to 29” £140 plus £20 p&p

Notes: This bow hung around the workshop as an ugly duckling, until I took a scraper to it and revealed the swan inside. It has been well shot in, and has followed the string rather more than is desirable, but it looks fine once strung and the arrow speeds are very respectable for its weight. Being backed with ash, this is a traditional-looking bow, and you may prefer a more traditional-looking grip. I will happily sand off the bumps to make a straight grip, but I'm afraid I don't do leatherwork.
