Also I know of a few English bowyers. Don't you guys over there believe bowmaking is some kind of secret that only a few can know? Surely you will get int trouble for sharing these "secrets" in an all telling video lol

Never understood that as it's all in books anyway  ::)

Ok well fair enough to you Del.

I've come across quite a few snooty UK bowyers though; especially those who build longbows. I tried to book a course with a guy when I was over visiting. Said he only taught laminate courses as yew longbow building was a secret  ???

One man is not representative of a whole country.....Who are you talking about? I know most of them and there aren't that many.

poplar600:
How was this a build along anyhow?

Ian.:
When people say there are secrets they don't want to share it normally means they have nothing to offer.

If we're talking about good bow makers there only one or two you could even get a heavy self yew bow from.
