Title: Bow for Christmas!
Post by: kennym on December 23, 2010, 01:36:00 PM
My buddy called 2 weeks ago, asked if I can build one for his son....

Next question,can you have it done for Christmas??

Left handed?

So what did I say? Maybe!

64" d/r longbow, 47@ 28" ,dirty hickory veneers and riser, walnut I-beam in riser, red elm cores.

All wood from buddy's kiln, should have good mojo,huh?
