Bow Making

I went to the King Richard’s Faire this year with a bunch of friends, and i threw together a quick outfit: sort of elven, kinda woodsy. Friends said “you should just do this for Halloween!” Which is what I did. The outfit needed a bow, and I thought it would be a fun reason to try making a bow for the first time. I took a week and a half to quickly build a 40 lb pull read oak 64” longbow, loosely following this build process. Here are a bunch of pictures outlining the build process, I’ll add more description and information soon. The process was pretty fun, I’m excited to make another one!
