After the early demise of Curly, my Curly Hickory longbow, I start on a replacement. I am headed to Texas next month for a hog hunt and hope to get this one done and tuned in for the trip.
I started with some Black Walnut, Hickory, and Osage. This one will have an Osage riser with Walnut accents, Hickory core, and Walnut lams.
I am making a 1 1/4" wide riser and making the bow 66" NTN. Should come out in the 65# range.
Here are the results of this weekend.

Out of the form and sanded.
