Another one done
« on: October 07, 2017, 09:20:00 PM »
Finished up this one the other day for Michael Arnette. He previously had a 2 piece of mine ( which he took 2nd place with in the Oklahoma longbow championship after 5 days of receiving it) . Anyways, he's a recurve guy that really wants to have a longbow as well. But he couldn't get used to the classic longbow grip on the 2 piece. So I told him to send it back and I'd build him a 3 piece that would better fit his grip style. He said I nailed the grip on this one!!
It is 64" and 52#@28"
It has a phenolic and figured maple riser, Birdseye maple veneers on the back and black glass on the belly.

Nice looking bow...  I like how it looks at brace...   I would guess that 2nd place in a championship with one of your bows is a nice feather in your cap...   :)

Impressive and inspiring, It's so helpful to see the work that others do on this site.
  I'll begin bow building again right after Christmas.
  Thank's for sharing.
