Hi Fellas,

I am just finishing up a batch of longbows and wanted to take a minute to share some of them here.  As always,  feedback is appreciated.

Up first. 
Hadrian
60 @ 29 "  very tight grained wood and amazingly sharp colours,  I think the photos show it pretty well.  It has some nice wiggles and bumps,  The nocks are buffalo and the arrow pass is pipestone. This one is off to Switzerland

cheers,
Jamie

Same batch of longbows, 

Named Oisin,
53 @ 28   Antler caps and green malachite arrow pass.   This one had 3 nice knots in the belly that I dug out and filled with stone.  The one largest was covered by the leather handle.

Started with a slight reflex and ended up perfectly straight after  tillering and shooting.  It is a quick bow.

Same batch, 

Named Seth (after the cat)  and pulls 42 lbs at 27 inches. 

This was an interesting bow because the owner is only 5 foot 1 tall.  So I tried to keep the bow on the small end of the spectrum.  It is about 66 inches long.

Turquoise arrow pass and filled knot above the handle.  The tips are Yak horn and polish up really beautiful.  The burning on the belly is in memory of the owners deceased cat

The wood is very dainty.  It ended up skinny and thin,  the wood is amazingly beautiful tight grained with great colour contrast.

Fantastic bows!   I admire the woodburning artwork, overall workmanship, and your ability to tiller bows with those wiggles in the yew.  Good posts also- especially the naming bits.
