I've been messing around with a takedown longbow design. I'm fairly happy with this last one, got it close to finished today. Finally got some speed out of it. Sorry for the mess, I need to clean out that corner. It's a 64" bow drawn to 31"s in the full draw pic.

Thats a nice looking bow

Its got great lines and a nice bends!
What woods did you use?

I can relate to the mess. If I cant take more than three steps in any direction without having to go sideways or over something, it's time to redd up the shop!

Thanks guys. Buggs the woods are osage and bocote in the riser. The limbs have boo cores with apple veneers.

Nice bow

SD apple Mike, almost as crabby as PA apples. I have a lot more now. 80+ MPH winds took its toll on trees around here.

That apple is pretty wood. It's tough wood to work with. Likes to check and twist while drying. Nice job getting those sharp looking veneers

It is definitely tough to dry down. I end up wasting a lot because of checking. I’m definitely not a pro at drying wood.

Nice paint booth 4 Point! I loved spraying old cars but hated the time it took to do the body work! Nothing like a nice glass finish!

I found this one run over in the road a few weeks ago.
I like the belly skin too.
