Got my new longbow yesterday!

[dhaverstick]

After only a little over two months of waiting, my new longbow from Wild Horse Creek Bows came in the mail yesterday. Needless to say, I am quite pleased with the result. There's nothing quite like that new bow smell!
 

The riser of the bow is made from pau ferro, the limb core is bamboo and the limb veneer is Karelian Birch Burl. The bowyer, Mike Dunnaway, is also an accomplished arrowsmith and he always sends an arrow footed with the same wood used in the riser.
 
 

I love all the figuring in the veneer!
 
 

The bow is 62" long and pulls 54# @ 28". The main reason I wanted this model (it's a Quest) is because it's a D style longbow and I only have one of those. I shot it a couple dozen times yesterday and I believe we're going to get along just fine. I sure hope to break it in on a nice longbeard in a couple of weeks!

No, Mike doesn't have a website.  Word of mouth only. PM me if you want his contact info.  He goes by Horsey on here.

I have a buncha WHCs. Mike is a wonderful human being.  My Silvertip Rocket has Karelian Birch Burl belly limb veneers.  Now there are 2 bows with those veneers in existence.  Congrats on a really nice bow.

Very Nice.  WHC does it well!

I cant smell it from here, maybe sent it my way for a little while?

Darren, you know he cut the shelf on the wrong side?

I have one on order. Drove up to his place and picked the woods out myself. Tried not to drool too much on the others. Great guy and great bowyer. Mine will have the same riser wood as yours too. Thanks for making the wait easier.
