Title: Is this a right ....
Post by: tradbower on December 24, 2010, 02:04:00 PM
or left handed long bow? Its a piece of Barzilan Cherry  7/16" tapered to 1/4" at the tips. Backed with raw boo , riser is Osage with a added piece of King Wood.  Used the Perry method in glue up, it should end up 66"long 64" NTN. I will have to wait to see if its a right or left handed because this will be for the " 2011 Trad Gang Bow Swap".

I was a fortunate soul to have been the one selected to receive Pete's bow in last season's bow swap, so let me tell whom ever is getting this bow, you are going to be VERY happy. The detail and craftsmanship are on point, and the bow shoots like it's on roids. Another beaut Pete. Enjoy finishing that one.

Pete, that looks like it may be left-handed to me.  But then I'm partial. LOL
