Here's a pic of my bow, with one of my arrows as well.
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cc05b3127cce805f99adb6e100000016108AcNGzh...This one is red oak (same board as my first effort) backed with silk. I used old neckties from Goodwill, one of which still had the 60.00 price tag! These are applied with Tightbond III.
With the limited amount of shooting I've been able to do (very rainy) it seems to be quite good. Pulls right near 50 pounds at a 28" draw.
The arrows are made of hardware store dowels, 3/8" Ramin. I have a taper tool and some regular field points on order, these are fitted with .38 special "blunts".
A fellow forumite on the Primitive Archer forum sent me a big pile of turkey and gray goose feathers, so I'll be making more arrows too.
Next up is to start work on the Osage Orange stave I aquired.
