How long have you had it?  How good/bad is the set/string-follow?

I must get round to making a set of videos. It's good free advertising ;)
I've met him a couple of times and never quite managed to get out of him where he gets his osage from! He had a super stack of it.
Also does anybody know who sells hickory in the log?? I'm sick of searching through 2nd rate boards!

He imports his Osage and Hickory from the USA.

I don't know how to get logs but for backings Timberline also known as Exotic Hardwood's are very good. I bought a piece of Hickory that gave me 17 4mm backings at a very good price, the quality was as good as you can get. Not only that I ordered it over the phone I never saw the board I bought until it arrived, so you can trust their selection.

I have to say that Pip does an absolute awesome job making bows!  I lived i England for 7 years and shot several bows and later had one made for me by him.  So far, it is the best English made warbow that I have ever shot!
