Mary Rose Replica Bow Build-Along--An Entrance into the World of War Bows
Marc St Louis:
The pictures are fine at this end
Dane:
JD, great work sharing all your work and insights with the rest of us. I may bump up a warbow project to sooner rather than later.
I was wondering, though, where do you plan to get a thatched building to fire? Do you plan to thatch it yourself, or mockup a shed with dry hay, for instance? Thatching is a facinating subject and craft all by itself.
duffontap:
Thanks Dane,
A couple of my friends and I are planning to build a disposable/flamable hut specifically for the purpose. Thatching is an interesting subject. I had a roommate in college who was a missionary kid from the Philippines. He told me stories about how they would have thatching parties. Almost sounded like a barn raising.
I'll post something on cross-section soon. Take care.

duffontap:
By the way, I wanted to thank everyone for their participation in this group learning thread. This has been a lot of fun.
As of now, I plan on including the following before we're done:
1. Limb depth and cross-section.
2. Floor tillering.
3. Horn Nocks.
4. Replica arrows (on the arrow page)
5. Finish.
6. Video.
If there's a question you have that you don't think will be covered under those categories, please let me know and I'll try to research an answer. Perhaps I'll have the first bow done by the end of next week? But can I pull it!
Thanks again.
