Mine was a 60" sinew backed hickory flat bow. My buddy has it and shoots it still. That was roughly 10-12 years ago, cant remember for certain. Mickey Lotz helped me get started.

  Interesting how time stretches. Fortunately, the internet has a better memory :D

Carrot wood bundle bow . About three feet long . Had a fishingline string at first . And then i put parachord on it ... i just started making bows two years ago . I have made around fifty since then with about forty of them that held together and about the last twenty that are good bows . The last was a yew elb . Yep .... i came along long long way :) this o e hangs on its own wall though because its what sparked my interest . I was merly into survival at first and this bow made me become a learning bowyer

No, I just got really ticked when I saw this guy calling out Pearl in what appears to be a hateful message with no truth or point. The post reads that he never made a bow. Come on really? Guys on this forum own some of pearls bows. I dont go to any site other than this and PP, but seemed to me like Twinkie ( I just bought a box of those, they are sooo good ) Slayer was trying to bring drama over here without being provoked. Either way, that sounds like a PM conversation to me, not a public thing. I didnt like it. What I posted before I deleated it should also have been a PM thing I admit. Flew off the handle.

Black Locust split from wrist sized tree. Mostly white wood with dark heart wood down center. I still have it, though because I made it when green it dried in a sideways banana shape. :o

A lot of these first bows are really amazing.  My first few ended up stove wood!

The wealth of knowledge from tbb and you guys here that have been  building bows awhile makes it seem easy , and it is easier , everything is easier when you stand on the shoulders of giants, it is a testament to yalls free gifts of giving out that knowledge , and you deserve much more credit than you might feel you get, but be proud , cause it means your being listened to,and closely.

    Actually, as of 2010 we have pearl stating that he's never made a bow,  but the 16th of this month he's stating that his first one was made "10-12 years ago". I'm just curious as to which statement is the truthful one, LOL.
