Very nice bows Simon. The full draw is really nice on both. Look forward to more of your work here.

I THOUGHT THESE LOOKED FAMILIAR!

I had to go check, but I was correct. You had posted these on the board bow building Facebook page the other day!

Very nice - as ever…
I know a guy who builds Trilam-Bamboobows - Bamboo-Silk-Bamboo.
Silk as the midlayer online to avoid the torsion of the bamboo. And ist works…

Interesting! Do you have more information about these bamboo-silk-bamboo bows?

Nice bows by the way!

Hello Again

here are some pics of a white mulberry longbow. Got this piece of wood from my friend Pinaka Longbows and I must say I like it very much. Its some of the best wood I have ever worked! Light and super responsive, not taking a lot of set. Not to forget that it looks very nice also and the bow came out super light in mass (405 gramms / 14.3 oz).
Very sad this was the one and only piece of that wonderful wood. I just love it and would die for a little more of it.

cheers

Another bow here. Not sure if it's primitive enough and not sure if I like the colours

kinda hard to do it justice with the camera. This is a very light (32# @ 28") version of my favourite longbow design made of various tropical woods and bamboo. For sure an absolutely pleasant and recreational shooter.
