My new Leon Stewart longbow arrived. 64" Slammer 45# @28. Bocote and Ebony flared riser with ebony diamond inlays on the inside limb. Bamboo sandwiched between yew wood make up the core. Sheep tips. Also for your viewing pleasure I also took some pictures of other bows ready to be shipped out.

I wonder if any of these are mine? I'm due to receive my LS Longbow anytime. Beautiful bows. I'm a huge fan of Mr. Stewart.

Nice Ron.  I saw your bow in Leon's shop on Saturday, I was admiring all that fancy woodwork.  Mine was finished this weekend also!

Dennis - Leon had around 16 bows in this last batch. He has been busy. I fully expect to see alot of new Stewart longbow pictures on here soon   :D  

fmscan - No I do not work for Leon. Just live close to his shop and have many of his bows.

Tom - How did you like your bow? Leon was telling me about the draw weight on your bow.

Thanks,
Ron

Leon's the man.  My favorite bowyer along with Jim Neaves.  That dark lefty almost looks like mine but the one due to be done for me has no compass.

But I'm a woods-ninja!!!! Lol

My Stewart 3pc has one but I don't want one on my 1pc.  I carry a compass in my pack and generally only refer to it if I'm not able to keep tabs on landmarks and/or lose track of the sun.

I would have trouble deciding which bow to shoot, that's why I only have one of Leon's bows, but it's my favorite.

Beautiful bows, good luck with them.
