New bow for Dennis!
« on: December 11, 2008, 09:16:00 AM »
I finally finished this one.  The original for Dennis is the one that had the cracked glass that I didn't notice until after glue up.  This one has been a test to my perseverance.  As an example, I had to spray this bow four different times!  All is good now.

She is 66" NTN and draws 58@28.  Figured bubinga in the riser, bamboo cores and osage limb faces.  She is my first lefty and I had to leave notes all over the shop, so I wouldn't cut something on the wrong side!  :)   I think he will be pleased.

Yes, it's a good example of the straight longbow that I build.  It actually has about 3/8" of string follow.  It is a good shooting bow!

nice bow!
i was told by a sales person, when purchasing an out-of-date newpaper that it was out-of-date...

i told her "i've been told i'm out-of-date, too"...

does that mean i'm up-to-date?
