Found my forever longbow !!!!!
« on: June 08, 2011, 05:09:00 PM »
After a (seems like forever search) I finally found my forever longbow.

After (seems like a million)(custom, used,etc.) different bows, re curves longbows, and assorted variations there of. I have found My personal longbow!

It happens to be a Steve Abbott Longbow. Cocobolo riser, yew and bamboo lams 47 @ 28".

After many years of searching finally stumbled across a wonderful Longbow.

Lee,
  She's a beauty, nice lines...but for my own interest if I may ask, what makes her so special?

WTPOPS: Steve is still building bows and a great man to deal with. Spent some time talking with him and got the last bow before he had a price increase. (Lucky for me!    :D  )

Steve doesn't do a lot of advertising. He lets his work speak for itself and by word of mouth. All of his bows are built by his hands and he'll stand behind them. Can't say how impressed and how much I enjoyed my conversation with him. He told me that he has a "Wall of Fame" at his shop and I hope to add my mug to it one day!

PM me if anyone would like the link, otherwise, just do a search for Abbott longbows.
