Making the Laminated English Warbow DVD

RyanY:
So I've known about this video for quite some time and it popped into my head again today. So after watching the preview video on youtube several times I found it on 3rivers for about 33 bucks, s&h included. I didn't buy it yet because before I do I would like to ask if any of you have bought the video and if its worth it? Has anyone heard anything about it? Any and all information would be helpful in making my decision. Thanks guys!

Davepim:
It's a first rate video, as is the parallel video of forging arrowheads, from the same company, and no doubt, the soon-to-be released medieval arrow-making video. These three were anticipated as being released as a single 3-video pack late this year (before Christmas).

Purbeck:
Excellent DVD on all aspects of making a heavy bow. I have followed it very sucessfully for shaping a stave, tillering, adding knocks and finishing my first bow. I will attempt to make a bow from sctach next and am confident that this DVD tells what I need to know!

RyanY:
Thanks guys. Now one concern of mine is choice of woods. I'm afraid that the video will only talk about a few kinds of wood for making bows like this and if I can't get access to those woods I'm not sure what I would do. Any more advice?

adb:
The only wood discussed which would be difficult to obtain would be degame (lemonwood). Otherwise, osage, hickory, purpleheart, etc., are used. It is definately a first rate video, and well worth the money.
