Bocote, cocobolo, kingwood with maple accents in the riser. Zebrawood limbs with horn and cocobolo tips.

I made this one. The limbs are Binghams. The riser is from wood bought at Woodcraft. It has a bamboo core in the limbs.
It is 67" ntn. I havent weighed it yet but it should be about 60# ar 28".

Thanks for the praise.

Very nice work!! I'm a big fan of Bocote, being a "Grain Freak". You surely got hold of some beautiful Bocote and made a fine bow of it. Well done!! Congrats!!  :notworthy:

Thats the prettiest limb trimmer i've ever seen.
All jokes aside, thats a nice looking bow. I've really been wanting to build my own take down longbow myself. How many have you built?

Great job, I love the way the bacote grain folows the lines of the riser.

Thanks guys. This is my third longbow. I've built two t/d recurves also. Here's the last longbow riser. Padauk, kingwood, and grey actionwood. Black glass limbs.
