  Yew Warbow / Self Yew English Longbow -

TRADITIONALLY MADE ENGLISH YEW WARBOW / YEW SELFBOW WITH SIDE -NOCKS Bowlength between nocks - 80" Drawweight: 132lbs @ lbs @ 32" This Warbow is made from a great stave of English yew with just one medium sized knot and a few pins, the wood is dense and at 6' 8" nock to nock and 1 3/4 inches at the centre this is a BIG warbow with proportions similar to the very largest bows found on the Mary Rose. The bow is fitted with handmade horn side-nocks similar to those on the the Mary Rose warbows, and not commonly found on yew longbows available today: This is a very rare chance to buy a heavy draw English yew warbow made in the same way and to a similar design as Tudor / medieval warbows. The bow is hand made from a single yew stave cut in Wessexin . It is a medieval type English full compass longbow (the bow bends along its entire length), as did the bows found on the Mary Rose. All my bows are made in the traditionalway from staves split out of coppiced yew, which means that the stave is spilt along theline of the grain in the same way that it was done in the medieval period, (notgone off the line or across the grain as can be the case with staves thatare sawn out of logs as most are today) so producing an authentic and moreresilient bow. You can see the natural dips and curves in a bow made from asplit stave where the split has followed it's own route around knots and otherimperfections in the log. (This bow is NOT made from two billets of wood and joined at the handle, with the join hidden with a hand grip like some yew bows you can buy). All my bows are individual and totally unique! The cambium is present on the back of the bowdemonstrating that the sapwood layer is also completely intact and that it hasnot been worked down, which makes for a stronger bow, and in addition thecambium is resilient layer which helps protect the softer sapwood from wear anddamage (if the sapwood becomes damaged the bow will be weakened). Modern yew selfbowsdo not normally have the cambium left on so this positive attribute is anunusual feature (many of the bows recovered from the Mary Rose hand the cambium intact). This bow is aligned for a right handed archer, but can also be used by a left handed archer. The bow is protected with four coats of Danish oil. This bow has individual hand made horn sidenocks with an upper stringing groove and comes with a Fastflight Flemishstring with loop and bowyers knot and a para-cord stringer. A leather hand grip can be fitted for a small charge ifrequired. I will ship to countries outside of the uk,please contact me to get postage costs (Please add £10 to standard UKpostage cost for delivery to UK Highlands and Islands and Northern Ireland as higher courier charges apply for theses locations).
