Title: hello (plust a photo of one of my new bows)
Post by: vabowyer on March 03, 2012, 06:29:29 pm: Hello,

Just thought I would post a hello message since I am new to the group here, and thought I should put a photo of some of my work with it in the spirit of sharing. Anyway, here is my current favorite bow. It is pau amarillo with an ash backing. Shoots wonderful and fast, at around 70 pounds at 28 inches.

Anyway, I look forward to checking out everyones posts.

Thanks.

Jamie

Post by: vabowyer on March 03, 2012, 11:57:08 pm: d section or flat? it is sort of in between. In my younger years I made longbows with pretty high arches, but they have flattened out over the years.
