A bamboo-backed bloodwood longbow that I’m working on. I found this gorgeous piece of deep red bloodwood at my local woodworking shop and I knew immediately that I had to teach that sucker how to bend. I’ll try to post prettier pics when it’s finished.
Yes, bow making is by #1 hobby and means of staying sane at the moment. Great way to keep the brain and hands occupied.
I love a good sword post. I had some swords as a kid, but they were just the cheap stainless steel replicas you find at renaissance fairs. I’d like to get into smithing someday and try making my own, but that’d be a no-go right now since my wife and I rent.
