I am about 90% done with this longbow. I took my sweet time making it. It is Ipe backed with hickory.
This is about 62 inches end to end unbraced. It has no arrow rest - therefore it is somewhat like an english longbow. This particular bow has turned out very narrow which is to my liking. I believe it is around 55-60 lb draw weight right now. I had zero help with this bow.
Before I declare it done I will need to shoot it to confirm the tiller is good, sand it, and finish it with some Tru oil. After I finish it with some tru oil it should make that wood shine a bit more.
Notes.
I glued the timber together using Urac 185.
I used phenolic for the tips , glued on with super glue.
Plenty of time was spent on the cabinet scraper and the belt sander.
