Where to source materials etc. Also the place to show off your new bow or quiver etc.... Making things belongs in Traditional Crafts.

Longbow progress, with pics

#1 Post by yeoman » Wed Jul 05, 2006 11:19 am

Yep, I'm getting right into the whole document with pictures, now that I've got a digi cam.

This is the first of two longbows I'm putting up for sale when finished.

It's 67" NTN, and will be about 40-50lb @ 28" when done, and bamboo backed.

All three pictures are the same thing: the bow being roughed out to front and side dimensions before the floor and long string tiller starts.

More pics to come when I've got more batteries.
