Originally posted by longbow fanatic 1: Today, I ordered my first Leon Stewart longbow. It's 64" 50@28, LS R/D longbow. Leon and I discussed the choices of wood and here is what we decided: The back will be Curly Cheek. The belly will be Yew. Cores will be Birdseye Maple and the riser will be Brazilian Rosewood with a dark brown leather grip.I'm as excited as an 8 year old on Christmas Eve. The seven month wait will be well worth it. I've heard great things about Stewart bows and I'm sure I will not be disappointed. BTW: Leon has been great to work with, but you all know that!
