Let's see some beautiful pictures of liberty longbows you have.

I have decided to order an english model next spring. Need some advice on wood choice. Thanks.

That bow is beautiful Gary!  You're right too, Allen has the best myrtle.  I'm shooting Wilderness Custom Arrows as well... what is it they say about great minds?

Yingwei, you will be very happy with your bow.  Allen is the best.  The last one he made for me has yew veneers with a myrtle riser, also a very pretty arrangement.  

Best regards, Chase

macassar ebony riser with mrytlewood limb veneers is a really beautiful combination. Is there anyone use yew limb?

I had a yew limb Classic. It was a 68" 54#, but did not seem as heavy due to the length I suppose. A good shooter and "classic" good looking bow.

I've never seen a ugly Liberty bow. Allen has that  quality of putting together just the right combo of woods. Always beautiful. If you can't decide just let him put it together.

I will post pics of my Liberty English this evening. Its a little ugly, but that is because I have beat the S*** out of it for the last 6 yrs. Could definitely use a refinish.
