Made 1 Hickory and 1 Pecan backed with Hickory the Hickory broke years ago Still hunt with the other from time to time I've got a Bamboo backed Osage I love someone else made. As soon as i can find a Osage stave I think will be easy I want to make a Bamboo Back Osage 60 inch 50# @28 for Turkey hunting.

Thanks ks,,,here's a link to my Webshots page if you would like to see some more pictures, there are some close ups of some of the bows. But there are many,, more talented bowyers on here that haven't posted pics of their work.

26 glass laminated longbows. They are not as pretty as Holm-Made`s or Kenny`s though.

The real talent is in making a bow out of natural materials that holds up over time and shoots well. These guys know how to read wood.  IMHO

No, lostshot there isn't.  In fact the sickness is progressive.  Soon, you'll be seeing bow trees you want to harvest as you're hunting, then as you're driving, then as you're sleeping!

Started w/ Dryad blank, bamboo backed yew, couple self bows, elm and hickory, that didn't last - I was a little too anxious and got too persuasive in teaching that wood to bend.  I cut some osage a month ago and am working, patiently, on couple now. Just got done making a big pile of shavings.  Oh, can't forget the Bingham's kit I built with Brian's help last summer - pronounced TD longbow - it turned out beautiful, and a shooter - it's my huntin' bow.
