Ooooo....that is slick!  I like the sharp contrast in wood colors.  :)

Looks very nice...  How are the limbs coming? or are you using limbs you already have?

I can't wait to see it finished.  I love the different woods too.  Keep us posted on the finishing.

The limb design is from Binghams 68 inch pronounced takedown longbow. The form is made from 3/4 inch birch plywood, two layers glued and screwed together.

I like it. One more question when you ordered from Binghams did it take a long time to get your order?

the form looks pretty good,if you take metal bands and put on both sides of glass keeps everything smooth ,also if you wrap it in plastic saran wrap you don't get glue all over your form,also the blue painters tape works well if you put it first on the limbs ,just peels off after you cut the limbs.

I ordered from binghams and it finally came almost a month later. I called Kenny M tonight and I will be ordering some lams from him in a day or so. He is a super nice guy and was real helpful.

Chris- Thank you very much I am excited but not trying to rush it. I am building about 4 bows at one time so I can bounce back and forth.

Kirk- I know what you mean I have my first longbow sitting in my work shop as a reminder of how far I have come and how much I have learned along the way from all you guys Thanks
