Here are some of the bows I built in the last year:

Top: most recently, a 54" bamboo slat bow. One solid piece of bamboo, with the flattened inside as the back and the rounded outside of the culm as the belly.

Center Top: 44" Snubby design by an archer friend. His version had a conventional handle and shelf. I built this one without a shelf or center cut, for shooting off the hand.
Center Bottom: 48" Scythian design based off profiles from bows recovered from archaeological sites in Western China

Bottom: 56" clear glass and wood bendy handle flatbow in the style of a Warring States Era Chinese bow owned by Stephen Selby of ATARN. Next to it the 2x2 form I used to build the bow.

Pretty darn cool! Do you shoot them at 3D shoots or hunt with them?

I'm a stump shooter mostly, although I do some bowfishing. I also have half a dozen or so bows crafted from PVC, some as short as my 39" Scythian, which are perfect for bowfishing.
