Nice collection of bows. I see you like longbows :)

those are niccee :)
love them warbows! What do you think about BL for warbows? got a nice bunch of it... really love the wood's looks so I'd like not to waste it ;) any random reccomendations? made only a few whitewood warbows with flat bellies, and a boo backed ipe with rounded belly; that's the heaviest one so far drawing 110# @32". Aiming for the same drawweights with the bl, maybe a little heavier.

Hi Nick
I kept the belly flatter than the traditional war bow shape and a little wider , to try and prevent the belly freting , which seems to have worked , not even a small crysal ... ::) and she has done a lot of shooting. She is 1 1/2" wide and 7/8" thick + - at the handle , I have another one half done with a more rounded belly but that one seems to have got stuck in the corner waiting for better days ... :-[
