I enjoy making bows and have outfitted most of my friends. I made this ref/def longbow for a friend. It's simple but came out nice. 64"40#@28", beech and walnut riser with walnut and boo limbs. The skins are prairie rattlers. (http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j35/mikebirdcc/image_zps45a18657.jpg)
Very nice. Just good clean lines. Pic together strung?
Nice work. Keep them coming.
Great looking job. Love the skins. :thumbsup:
Here's a string profile.

I really like the beech. Not often you see that in bows but I love it. Simple, classic, clean.
I try to use common but strong woods in my bows. The best part is that I can usually get my domestic woods for free. Having a good friend that makes doors for a living has its advantages. Beech takes stain well and is easy to work with similar to maple.
A trully nice bow! I love simple lines and a graceful profile! Beautiful. :clapper:
There's no fiberglass in that bow?
Thanks for the kind words. Yes it has fiberglass limbs, black on the back and clear on the belly. The black makes the skins look better.
Nice looking bow!
Very nice.
Ditto ditto NICE!
Very sweet one I like the simpliness!
Wow I really like that bow! One of my favorites I have seen... Well Done!
Well done! I like your woods and the skins look perfect on there.
