Finished a natural American Longbow!

Here's a couple pics after break in and hundreds of shots.

 

Started with 1.5 inches of reflex before tillering.

That's a SPECTACULAR looking bow!

Seeing these pics is really driving me to want to build a double-shelf.

I can hear the Mrs. now, though... "Finish that rack so we won't have all these bows sitting around the house... What do you need another bow for?"

Summer project coming up!

Keep up the excellent work!

That's a beauty!

Fantastic! Your last one pushed me to build one and I sent her to a new home. Seeing this one make me want to build another one.
 
 The tips are some of the best I've seen.

Beautiful Bow,Can't wait till you share your build along.

Are you using tapered lams or parallel so you can scrape the belly like building a self bow ?

[Roy from Pa]
