Evening all,

Just wanted to share a few pics of a set of bows Ive been working on for sale at the 2016 Abbey medieval festival. They are Ash backed Cypress English longbows. Draw weight ranges from 28lbs to 43lbs in the set of 8 and all are 70"ntn. All are still holding reflex after shooting them in so they're great performers for their draw weights.

They will be for sale at the Abbey first but should I not sell them there I will make them available for sale on here if anyone is interested in a 'Yew looking" ELB for a fraction of the price.

It's a combination that certainly looks the part; you've done well finding relatively knot-free cypress.
