Oh My God Gordon, its Sooo beautiful!!! I am so lucky to have found you . You are truly gifted to create the great longbow and I am excited to show my daughter as well. The English Yew Wood one I had was from the great Don Adams but it was finally cracking or chrysaling as they call it and after he examined it the verdict was bad. Ive heard so much about Lemonwood as the perfect substitute and in fact I think it was a Lemonwood bow that won a famous tournament years ago. After seeing Gordons bamboo backed one he made for his friends son I knew from the pictures this guy knows how to build them.But would he build it for me? What a Gentleman! Gordon, if it looks this good on the computer screen I can just imagine holding it in my hands what it will be like ! Dons bow was made for his wife Vivian as it was called Lady. He knew I was so anxious to get going on shooting and his waiting time was long so his wife gave the ok to sell her bow to me.It was 42lbs @28. Afterwards I ended up, buying heavy weighted bows in the upper 60s and low 70s for years(big mistake!). I gave Caralyn my daughter the Yew Wood bow . I am certainly going to enjoy shooting this but it will end up going to my daughter as a sort of replacement-hence the name " LADY ". Thankyou Gordon!!! I cant wait to get it. Now tell me about that nice osage flatbow with the snakeskin backing you mentioned to me!!!!!
