Title: A special build video
Post by: TC209X50 on November 18, 2024, 04:05:39 PM
A short video I put together of a very special build I completed for my Dad. I’ve learned a lot from this site that was instrumental in the success of this bow and the knowledge that I’ve gained thus far. I worked on this on and off for about 2 months while I learned how to build spliced laminations and build the jigs to make them successfully. Thanks to all of you that contribute regularly as bowyers that help us that are learning the craft.

It does not get better than this...everything from the special family walnut, to the build, to a buck on the ground. Just tremendous!

That is so awesome 👌🏻 👏  I built a Longbow for my cousin from some Missouri southern walnut  from my grandpa's farm. It was very  special for me and my  cousin 😊😀🥲
