Below is my finished crossbow, made of oak with red mahogany stain, sisal bowstring, jute and steel stirrup that doubles as a bipod, trigger mechanism made out of poplar dowels.
I am still fine tuning the bolts I am using (Stage 4), but will be back with more photos sometime when I have them looking pretty.
I have already purchased the wood for my 2nd crossbow, which will be bigger and more powerful.
