This one I can not lay claim to gluing up....it exchanged hands a few times before it fell into my hands...how many times I do not know? This year at the Tennessee Classic a guy was walking around with this blank he bought off of James Parker the previous year at the classic...I remember the year before seeing a Marc St. Louis blank on his vendors table,and I think this was the one the guy had bought?...where James got it I don't know?
Any way this gentleman had never made or tillered a bow and was looking to pay someone to tiller/finish it out for him,and for some reason a few guys all pointed him to my direction(don't know why)
...the guy just wanted a natural materials bow,so I got to thinking and struck up a deal with him and traded away my hunting bow from last year
...but it was a fair trade id say in the end
I finished this one up a few weeks ago,and was gonna put a leather grip on ,but decided nah... its 62"...57@27"...bacote tips(I did glue those on)...theres cherry,another piece of osage,and a whitewood lam in the handle...and of course I shaped the handle to my liking....and it thumps a nice arra
thanks for looking
...and don't give me all the credit

Great hunting specs, length and draw weight, and the tiller is outstanding. You gotta get out there and tag a deer with that bow Chris. Oh the finish is real nice also, sweet bow all around.

I like how you finished that out. And your right about deciding against a leather grip. There's no purpose for such pretty variation in lams in a non-bending handle other than to be shown off.
It's funny because today I decided to pull off a rather ugly handle job I'd done on a red-oak longbow. It was just wrapped and glued heavy hemp twine. But beneath was rawhide I don't even remember putting on. Then beneath that the handle lams were red-mulberry, maple and then cherry. I thought "now why did I cover all that up"? Then noticed the uneven glue lines.
You did that glue up justice.

Thanks guys for the replies...
Well Clint...if ya can't see from the pics it looks like I shaved
Yeah thimo i have a hard time covering up laminate handles...you prob put the rawhide and hemp wrap on for strength thinking your glue lines were too shabby to hold up...or just to hide them too
