That's just beautiful Rod Truly one of the nicest straight laid longbow handles I have ever seen..
Love the way the wenge looks against the other timbers.. it's a nice smelling timber to work with too if you get a good piece.

Thank you Matt and Paul, i've been making these bows for two years now and i'm finally happy with the way they are turning out. Each one seems better than the last, even tho I was happy with each one at the time.

Re: newest one
Rod, that's an absolute beauty mate... Very nice combination of timber colours. What are the highlights in the handle made from?

Re: newest one
Nah, it's crap...I hate it!
That was just for a little variety, if I keep saying "WOW! You get better every time!" it'll lose all impact.
Well Done, Rod, as usual, it's a cracker!

Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!
