Parnell:
Looks really nice, Del.  Great work!

TheDukesArchers:
That is too nice.

toomanyknots:
Very nice! I missed whoever tried to tell you of all people anything about english longbows/warbows, but I'm sure whatever they said was comical.  :) I once told a guy that I made a couple "warbows" around 120lbs, etc. He said "thats it!?!", and went on to tell me how real warbows would of historically been around 300 or 400 lbs. I tried to explain to him his error, he was way out of his expertise, but the guy took my correction personally and about beat me up over it! ;D So I just let him blab on about whatever fantasy he was living in at the moment. Very nice bow though, I wish people would just bring me yew staves...  :'(

wizardgoat:
That bend is insane del

Del the cat:
Cheers guys :)
@ Toomany.... great story, but, yeah you should man up and be pulling at least 300#  ::) LOL
I didn't even try to get that one back to 32", I did shoot a few at 28" but that was plenty for me. It's too easy to be gung ho and damage yourself.
I'm not sure the guy I made it for will really manage it, he's a big strong old bloke, but with virtually no experience! Mind he managed 80# at 32" ok.
