Re: My second Red Oak longbow.

Nice, please show us pics once done and at full draw.

I too make bows fromtime to time.

I have a hickory board bow on the tree right now.

Its at about 100# buts that after floor tillering. LOL

I am planning a hybred high wrist recurve grip and shelf into it.

Keep up the good work!
