I am trying to help a member on another forum identify a bow he says is "about 60 years old". Looks like a selfbow to me, anyone have any ideas?

Just an old lemonwood longbow that could have been made by York, Pearson, Indian, Stemmler, etc. They literally made thousands upon thousands of them. Lemonwood was cheap and you could make a bow with no regard to grain.
