RE: Build a traditional longbow

Try just ash (self bow) to start with, I made one last week, took a couple of days, looks like a dogs back leg as you have to follow the grain and the stave was well knotted. Does about 170 yds at the moment but I suspect it is underbraced so it might do 180. Can send piccies if interested.

Cheers

Ian
