thanks for posting those bows, very nice!

Will B:
Very nice bows Simon. The full draw is really nice on both. Look forward to more of your work here.

JW_Halverson:
I THOUGHT THESE LOOKED FAMILIAR!

I had to go check, but I was correct. You had posted these on the board bow building Facebook page the other day!

I know a guy who builds Trilam-Bamboobows  - Bamboo-Silk-Bamboo.
Silk as the midlayer online to avoid the torsion of the bamboo. And ist works…

Interesting! Do you have more information about these bamboo-silk-bamboo bows?

Nice bows by the way!

Hello Again  :)

here are some pics of a white mulberry longbow.  Got this piece of wood from my friend Pinaka Longbows and I must say I like it very much. Its some of the best wood I have ever worked! Light and super responsive, not taking a lot of set. Not to forget that it looks very nice also and the bow came out super light in mass (405 gramms / 14.3 oz).
Very sad this was the one and only piece of that wonderful wood. I just love it and would die for a little more of it.

cheers
