This is a basic ‘how to’ article on making a Mary Rose style longbow.

The draw weight can be whatever you like and the ‘n to n’ length can be adjusted to suit.

As you can see by the tutorial the bow can be made with simple tools. Take up the challenge. :Bow

Another good link Daryl. I haven't seen Jaro around on the sites for a couple of years. He is a really talented bowyer, one of the first to do heavy warbows successfully from whitewoods.
