If you are refering to the "Pearson, Old timer", I have on. It is an American style long bow. It shoots fine. Can't send pictures, sorry!

Tom Cole was making laminated longbows back in the mid 70's. I traded him for some osage lams to make my first osage longbow. He made all his bows by wrapping the glue-ups with rubber strips. He said he got the best glue lines that way. It does give good glue lines, but is a lot of work. His designs were basic American style longbows, that he finished by hand. Nothing fancy, just good shooters.
