Well I'm no where near the bowyer I think I am, lol but I did have a blast finishing up this Bamboo backed bow blank from Mike Yancey at Pine Hollow Longbows. And gents this bow shoots as well as any longbow I have, they should call them Natural Shooters. Seriously a blast and easy to do, I can't wait to start another one. I learned so much doing this one, the next one is going to be better. And I have no doubt I am going to hunt with this bow this year, it shoots that well, no string silencers needed. Heck I don't see why I would buy another finished bow. For the money this is a keeper.

Sorry about the pics but I was in a rush.

Nice work! What r the specs?

I'm getting 56@27, 72 inches long

Very cool, Peter! Enjoy!!!

Bill just don't take me too serious about not buying another bow, I always take a peek at your site

Is that a tennis grip wrap on the handle? Looks comfy!

Yes I did use the Tennis grip, I find it cushions the hand and I use a softer grip, helps keep the tension off the bow hand.

  The more you look the more your tempted.    
There is just something VERY cool about an all natureal bow.

Oh I'll be tempted all right when you come up with a one piece sxt, dang it, I'm drooling already. I can see it now a 50's style recurve with Zipper flair !!!

Maybe one day. When I do, I'll send you one to see if it gets your stamp of approval.
Sorry Peter, I did not mean to interrupt your all natural thread.

Not at all Bill, always a pleasure to chat with you !!! And thanks for keeping me in mind.
