Guest deerhntnwithdogs Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Ok guys I almost finished my second longbow. I still have to do the stain and the last bit of tillering and the rest of the cosmetic stuff. heres some pics of it without the stain and all the above mentioned stuff. Done in 2 days. Wit the help of a bandsaw lol Side: Front: Arrow Shelf: At almost full draw haha: Its not quite at full draw because 1: Its not fully tillered yet Its set on prolly 55 instead of 50 at 28" and ive been having some elbow problems since late last nite.

VTbowman Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 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!
