Title: Vern's new longbow!
Post by: Apex Predator on May 29, 2009, 09:28:00 AM
I just finished a new longbow for Vern.  He wanted a straight profile longbow with a birdseye maple riser, maple core, figured bubinga limbs, and bone tips.  She is 64" long and draws 62@28.  She is a really sweet shooter!

Beautiful bow, probably one of the more stunning wood combinations I've ever seen.  Pure art.

I've got one of Marty's d bows and it is finished as well or better than the big names bows that I have. It is also the quietest.I can't imagine anyone is making a better one.

Nice looking bow and the contrast between the light and dark timbers really sets it off nicely.
