At Looooooooooong Last! this is everything i have been up to since last i posted. its a bit picture heavy, but i hope y'all like it :) as always, comments, questions, and concerns are welcome and encouraged :)
first up is a maple flatbow, 43# @ 28"




Next up is a hickory English longbow with osage tips, 72# at 29"





Next is an osage character flatbow, 65# @ 28"






next is a cherry longbow with a built up riser, 47# at 28"



finally a hickory shortbow, 55 inches long, drawing 81# @ 27"



all the longbows are 72 inches long, and the shortbow is 55 inches long.
My Longbow in one hand, My Colt 1860 Army in the other, and both feet in the past.

Wow those look great! That osage bow has some really nice bend to it, then again the others do too...

Very nice work Connor. Glad to see you back posting. How's the blade work coming along?
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

You sure have been busy!  Fine tillering.  You sure have been bit by the bow building bug. :D
