Rookie year as a basement bowyer

dcmeckel · May 03, 2011, 10:19:00 PM

Well I finally got a few longbows to turn out,so I'll post pics of them now and then to show that just about anyone can build a laminated longbow.The first one I'm showing has myrtle veneers,and a riser that my wood supplier said is Laotian rosewood.I don't have any reason to doubt him yet,so I guess thats what it is.I'll show another bow in a couple of days.Adios!

Sorry that pictures are not within limits. First time to post, but have it ironed out for next time.

I'd say you're beyond rookie status with a bow like that.

Nice!!

Great work, that is beautiful!

Great job! Looks like a good shooter!

dcmeckel · May 05, 2011, 09:31:00 AM

Thanks for the kind words guys.This particular bow is 64" and 53#,has bamboo cores(not action-boo),and is one of my faves to shoot.

Nice bow. Good looking accents.

That is VERY nice!! did you make or buy the accents? If you bought them, where?

kennym · May 06, 2011, 12:29:00 PM
