Dave... Actually, it has been a planned project of mine for about the last six months. Problem is, i keep coming up with something I want to build more immediately. I did build a kind of "modern version", i.e. glassed, of the old 50's self-longbows... one lam of cherry with a cherry riser... very slight string follow, probably about as much as the originals had at first stringing, before they took their set. It came out nicely and is a honey to shoot. I like the pyramid shape and hope i can do as well with one of those... maybe about three or four bows down the line, as I'm experimenting with forward riser longbows and kid bows right now. If you want to talk about the idea, email me direct at:
