no-leather longbows

[limbow]

Tater 2, thanks for the idea! I will be trying that on the bow below this Spring for the gobblers.

Here are two pics of mine.  The first is my hunting bow with the wrapped leather lacing above a selfbow that has a bare handle.

 

And here is a pic of some of my bows on the rack in the den.  You can see that even some of the recurves are bare wood.
