The back absorbed bow ends are typical for the Viking times.
The upper string groove is on one side laterally nicked, in order to avoid the string cutting into the soft heartwood. At the lower bow end the string is tied a knot known as the "pig back knot" without any grooves. Grip wrappings are not known.

The string is made of Dacron Flemish string
(Flax string after arrangement)

The length of string measures-manufactured after arrangement e.g. 71" / 28 ".

Such Staff bows in Yew, and also Elm trees were predominantly used.
The nock groove was attached later in the Viking times at the end of the bow. The lower limb has different string attachments. The limb ends consist of metal, antlers, or bone and are used as impact absorbers or tip protectors. I manufacture this bow with octagonal sanded Antler ends.
