Hickory Shorty Longbow 56 ntn 25#@24"

This stave kept making it's way to the bottom of the pile!  I had some issues with my scale and then some late tillering resulted in a very light bow.  But it has some nice character.  The bow has three holes that go all the way through.  I made it for a gentleman I shoot with a traditional club.  Handle overlay is zebrawood and tip overlays are purpleheart over zebrawood.  Belly finished in steel wool and vinegar and back in various leather dyes.

See pics below:
