Ash short bow

39inch ash bow 20ibs at 17inch drew. The bow is full of character have 6cm big knots on right side 1/4 sesttion and other knot in handle. For this bow I messed up the handle very bad but at least not break yet. Don’t really think I do the job but at least there is experience. I still don’t think the tiller is good enough so I want you guys to check for me and the recurve on the left lip is natural. Also the belly use flat D. Backing use hemp fiber believe or not. The sting follow is very bed because I didn’t heat treated, but is a season stave.

I have other stave that is ash at 39inch want to know what you guys think and suggestion so I can do better at next one!!!

How does inch makes sense?

Personally I find pretty hard to use inch or other measurement like yard or feet. For me I born in county use cm those thing. Even I’m move to US quite some year, but find difficult to learn inch or feet. Can you tell me how you guys get over with. Like I know one cm is wide of my little finger. I know this is kind the not bow question, but will help me a lot for bow making. (even tho I use finger measurement for must time.)
