Just about finished this, made from a hornbeam sapling (Carpinus betulus). Rigid handle, about 50 lbs at 31", d-shaped longbow. 200 cm long. Might pike it later to 180 cm to get it to 75 lbs.
Worked on it exclusively using regular knives, which was a bit of a pain in the ass as hornbeam is notoriously tough, but worth it.
Will soon apply shellac and wrap the handle.

I can't use a bow without an arrow rest.
How do you do it OP?
