Summer project just arrived
« on: February 10, 2021, 06:05:20 pm »
Hi guys,
My summer project just got delivered. Would have gone and got it but Wales is still under a travel ban. Oh well. Anyway wych elm stave, gonna build a nice chunky crossbow, replica of an 11th century French bow to see what the original could do. Should be lots of fun. Never worked with elm before, any advice?

Why must we make simple things so complicated?

French crossbow!  Build an English longbow and you can have a war with yourself!
