Title: Longbow makeover
Post by: JJB on January 20, 2012, 08:41:00 PM

I just finished a makeover on a longbow I first made in 1999. I changed the shape of the handle a little, making is smaller and more comfortable to my liking now. It next got a new finish and a leather wrap. I really haven't given this bow very much attention in the last few years. I'm looking forward to putting a bunch of arrows through it now. It's 64" 57#-28" with a zebrawood riser, red elm and zebrawood limbs. Thanks for looking.
