Title: My collection
Post by: AH on October 16, 2013, 10:19:09 pm

I just thought that being the guys you are, you'd enjoy some pictures. I haven't posted in a while. In no particular order, the bows I have made so far here are: a 75 lb yew elb, a 55lb osage flatbow, 45lb hackberry, 45 lb hickory board, 50 lb red oak eastern-woodsland longbow, a red-oak short-ish flatbow about 30lbs
and as for that big yew stick...I got an awesome yew stave from carson a while back, and build this warbow. I don't have a fulldraw on it because I'm not strong enough to pull it, and I need to get a fastflight string for it also...the dacron strings just stretch to zero brace height. It's around 90-ish at 29", and ___ at 31" I have no idea what.

hope you enjoy them ;)

They look great!  I agree with what's being said, consider posting them individually and participating in BOM!

Great work.

Yeah we want more pics, more details.  Have you posted that 90lb warbow over there in the warbow section?  Looks like you did a very fine job of that stave from here, looking forward to seeing more.  And very nice work on all of your bows.

the yew warbow
didn't take a whole lotta set ;)
I don't have a string for it, as I don't have FF yet and it's last string stretched so much I couldn't brace it past two inches >:(
