Best Birthday Present Ever

<< < (3/7) > >>

adb:
It was also a huge thrill for me visiting the MR Museum. Some of the yew bows are truly massive. I didn't get to handle any, but just looking was a privilege.

ErictheViking:
That is insanely cool Mr. Cat.  those babies are huge!  I bet at night you go to sleep thinking of making a replica now!

Del the cat:
I'm making a 90# longbow now which is about all I can manage, it's been influenced by those beauts.
I'd just love to see one of those medieval bowyers at work.
Del

Dane:
What a specacular b-day gift. The inspiration alone must be tremendous, to see and hold these massive bows. I recently viewed a neanderthal stone tool in a local museum, and was very motivated just by that alone. Nothing like viewing (and holding, you lucky cat) such wondrous artifacts.

CraigMBeckett:
Lucky you Del.

Do you know the archive number of the bow you show in the photos?

For those Interested can you tell us what it costs to be a patron?

Have you changed your mind about big (in length) bows now as I seem to recall you making some disparaging remarks about them.

Craig.

By the way Del, Happy Birthday.
