New bow for a friend

[M.Kerry Bird]

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.

Very nice. Just good clean lines. Pic together strung?

I really like the beech. Not often you see that in bows but I love it. Simple, classic, clean.

[M.Kerry Bird]

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.    

There's no fiberglass in that bow?

[M.Kerry Bird]

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.
