Longbow Maker

  More bows to come.


This page features different handmade longbows made from various woods. The backings of the bows can include snake skin, deer hide and hardwoods.

Here are five examples of longbows that were handcrafted by either Russ or myself.
From top to bottom: painted back; sinew wrapped, natural wood, rattlesnake backing and deer hide backing.

These are just a few types of backing:
Blacksnake - Python - Deer Hide

Above is a rattlesnake skin ready to use for backing.

Here I am carving a longbow.

I also made the shaving benches that Russ and I use.
Without one of these units it would be extremely difficult to carve a longbow.

(Above and below pictures) Russ works on another one of his many longbows.
