Just about finished this, made from a hornbeam sapling (Carpinus betulus). Rigid handle, about 50 lbs at 31", d-shaped longbow. 200 cm long. Might pike it later to 180 cm to get it to 75 lbs. Worked on it exclusively using regular knives, which was a bit of a pain in the ass as hornbeam is notoriously tough, but worth it.Will soon apply shellac and wrap the handle.
is it laminated, steam bent? what kind of bow?
