Making an English style longbow from sweet cherry wood. The stick ended up drawing 50 # at 28" - just what I was aiming for. The bo is 73" ttt. I used sapwood on the back and heartwood on the belly. This wood is truly gorgeous. I really like its performance. Also I decided to hollow four knots I spotted on the bottom limb. Their cores were very soft so I decided epoxy filling will be wiser move. Loving the outcome!
