		FLATBOWS (AMERICAN LONGBOWS)

There is no need to use glass fibre to make a sweet shooting, fast bow!
Bamboo is a beautiful natural bowmaking material and when correctly incorporated into a bow has excellent shooting properties. Bamboo is becoming increasingly popular as a bow material, being tough, beautiful and 'ecologically sound!'
The nodes are left proud to retain the character of the material.
Attractive solid or laminated hardwood handles and a fine oil finish highlighting the character of the wood make this bow a work of art.

Length: 66 to 72 inch
Materials:(all subject to availablility): purpleheart, lemonwood, wenge, black walnut, yew etc. If you require a particular hardwood in the handle, this can be incorporated if suitable and available.
Risers can be made without shelf, left or right hand rest, shaped or unshaped grip. While they look best without a grip, a leather wrap can be fitted.
