Here are a couple of pics of two longbows that I have made, as well as some cedar arrows. One of the bows is Osage, 60" long, 40#@26"....my buddy pulled it before I could tell him it was not madefor his draw length and cracked the limb, but I fixed it by wrapping with sinew and hide glue. It ain'ynothing purdy, but it shoots just fine.
This one is a 72" Bamboo backed hickory. It is 50@26"..the first pic is just after completion, the second is after I added a Western Diamondback snakeskin.
And finally, a couplepics of some cedar arrows I have done....I prefer to splice the cock feather, instead of putting on a entirely different color....the ones with white feathers were before trimming..the feathers weren't left that long.
