Hickory/Ash/Greenheart ELB
« on: December 21, 2009, 02:28:33 pm »
Hi all,

This is a bow I've been building over the past few weeks, I've really enjoyed building this bow, I've had a pretty much problem free time of it, and it's came out better than I expected. So the specs are as follows...

Hickory edgegrain backing, tapered Ash core, Greenheart belly. I glued them with Cascamite.
76"ntn.
47#@28" and 56#@32".
Buffalo horn nocks.
Finished with Rustins Plastic Coating, then polished up with burnishing cream and Autoglym polish.
Leather grip with braid trims.

Here are the pics...



























Cheers,
Dave

Yeah, this is a right ELB.
Grennhart must be a fine wood for english longbows.
I hope i find a shop in Austrian where i can buy Grennhart.
