Bamboo-Backed Hickory Longbow Blank

Premium bamboo backed, floor tillered, hickory bow blanks are for making your own longbows. Designed like the early Howard Hill longbows, the limbs are straight and have plenty of material in the grip area. All the thinning, planing, and toothing of the bamboo is already done. The hickory and bamboo are glued up, floor tillered, and the sight window and arrow shelf are roughed in. You finish the tillering process, grip, sight window, final sanding and finish, and you're done. These bamboo backed hickory staves can make great hunting bows, target bows, English style longbows, SCA battle bows, you name it, from as light as you care to go to about 70# max. Available in right and left hand, please specify. Approx. 68"-72" tip to tip.
