just ironwood sapplings and they werent too big, so it did not take long to make.

the stuff is just awesome to use, gains alot of weight when completly cured,and is totaly shootable thru the whole process.

These are the kind of bows that a lot of bowyers vote for in the BOM contest. Well-made and primitive, which is what this site is all abouit.
