Couple of bows in progress

#1 Post by Muz1970 » Mon Oct 01, 2018 2:23 pm

Cut these risers out yesterday, shaped and rough sanded them. Couple of RH Recurves and a LH Longbow. Thought I'd share as I haven't been on here for a while. Have started selling a few to sponsor my east coast hunting trips.

Cheers Muz

Muz, a lot of work and time has gone into the handle sections, well done.

Great work there Muz, I especially like the herringbone accents, very neat indeed.
