Finished my latest longbow!
« on: January 27, 2009, 08:02:00 AM »
I've been working on this latest one for weeks.  She is 65" ntn and draws 47@27.  The riser is cocobolo, limb core is bamboo and has zebra on the limb faces.  I like her!

That is an excellent looking longbow.  Looks like a Howard Hill!
