BradB Report post Posted November 21, 2009 I really like the design and color!! Awesome Job!!! Did you build the longbow from scratch or use some sort of kit? If it was a kit could you recommend a source as I have always wanted to make one!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it was a kit could you recommend a source as I have always wanted to make one!! Yes I built the longbow from scratch. I just started doing them This is the forth one I have done. To get started I purchased a tape from Bringham projects. They have all you need to get you going. Also Stickbow.com and Tradegang, have very good information and bow buildalongs to help you get started and you can post questions. If you get started and have questions contact me and I will help you out however I can. Thanks for the nice comments Goldwing. OHIO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schno Report post Posted November 23, 2009 Great work! I love the coloring and the design. Those long, sweeping finger cuts were a very nice touch! Archery is what got me started in leatherworking. I learned to shoot from someone who had an ankle quiver, and I had to have one of those things, so I made one. These days I do a lot more leather than archery, of course.

TomSwede Report post Posted November 23, 2009 I totally agree with the others, color is so rich and beautiful. A good reminder of a useful but neglected tool in my shop..the tri-weave...might just be the missing piece to the guitarstrap I'm designing. Like Schno said, the fingercuts is a great touch!! Love theese two pieces!!! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm Report post Posted November 23, 2009 All Good! The bows, the quiver and arm guard make for a great package. Love the concho on the quiver. But your bows are killer!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
