Here are a pair of ostensibly identical Windlass bows, one a commission and the other available. These are based after 15thC munition examples form Western Europe, so basically fairly boring in form.
They follow the usual outline for my bows, so the stock is ash, the fittings are steel, the trigger is sprung and the string is linen.
My bow scale is out of action, but getting rebuilt, so not sure on the weight yet, but they certainly shoot very nicely and I will update as soon as I can.
I hope you like them and any comments or questions are very welcome.
