New Yew bow build along
Ian.:
Watched the video Del, it's a nice explanation. I would certainly consider mounting the bow in a way where it can't move and wiggle around. I clamp them down often to prevent this so you only see the action of the bow limbs being tillered

This is true in MANY disciplines, not just the art and craft of bow making! The first whiff of this attitude and I cut ties with the person. Period. Let's just say I have a long history of dealing with these kind of people and have lost all tolerance.
And that is why after something like 9 years, I am still dedicated to this forum and a vast and overwhelming majority of the users here.
Post on, Ian!

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

Who are the bowyers for MR replicas? Did a google search and found quite a few. Mostly UK based.

Roy King was the one who made them but that was years ago, and sadly he passed away. Others have made 'replicas' but never convincingly. The rest of the crowd were historians, archers and an actor who knew a bit about archery. Nowadays you're limited
