It's still a well dried quarter log of straight grained ash :-) . First, I need to draw and build one that works, then I can consider selling it or making more.

The theoretical construction also may explain why the retaining lip (where a LOT of the force goes when the bow is cocked) of the found nut is so thin and bone (or antler or ivory) can be used for the nut.
