Also, there is a slight trade description thing here. Alan *only* makes maple handled woodlore knives - to the best of my knowledge, he's never made a green micarta woodlore knife. I dont think he can make exactly the same knife as the woodlore for anyone other than woodlore, you have to order...

Shags are what you see when you are on your own or with people you know well. Cormorants are what you see when you are with your children or parents. Silas

He was carrying bow and arrows, he appears to have been tatooed at all of his accupuncture points! It also appears that he was murdered/killed with an arrow. Silas

English yew is no good for bowmaking. Contrary to popular belief, yew was not used for most bows as it was very expensive. Silas

have you got a copy of mors' book? i still reckon this test is bunk! what he actually says is hammer a knife 4cm into a tree at ninety degrees to the grain, then stand on the handle. Dosent the wight of the person standing on the handle make any difference???? Come on... Silas

Can you get me a bagful next time? :-D Silas

If you do this, don't be tempted to cut bits off for yourself. Many churchyard yew trees are older than the churhes themselves. I seem to remember that all yew trees are protected in this country and you need permission to prune them , let alone chop them down. Yew is actually a softwood and...

I could turn 'yew' something if the wood is properley seasoned. Yew bowls are OK, just don't eat out of them - ok for keeping nuts etc in though. It is hard to find solid lumps of english yew that are suitable for turning. Silas

Yep, Lafrog, Bowmore or any of the Islay Malts are good. Very good. Silas

NEVER spell scotch whisky with an 'e' in it - thats the best advice I can give! Silas

I haven't really had much chance to use the knike yet, but I am well impressed with it. I like the carbon blade as I don't like the 'flash' of stainless steel. I like the signature on the blade, it feels right in my hand and the wood is lovley. I also like the sheath style. Great value for...

Funnily enough... I just bought two pairs mail order just for doing the garden in etc and I am well impressed! The quality is amazing very comfortable and look to be hardwearing and at £7.00 a pair you can't really go wrong. Now, if it wasn't for those funny big button down belt loops...

My archery club managed to get a lottery grant to buy ours with - might be worth a go.... Silas

I would very much like to but this, where is it? Ta Silas

You may well be right, perhaps the one we had had been eating old tyres and unwashed socks! :-D I will try again, this time from a different scource. Thanks Silas

OK, Where can I get one and how much are they? Silas

If these are Canada Geese don't bother = they tast absoloutly disgusting (I was going to say foul but saw the unintended pun as I typed it. Silas

I do enjoy reading your nreviews, and have used them to help me make my mind up about what kit to buy, but... Can you please give prices, suppliers and avaliability of items, I know you sometimes do this, but I think that in any review the price is a vital component. Thanks Silas

Yeah.. 'ave a go.. it's great fun. I don't do much now as I have a shoulder injury ( Not archery related) Don't fall into the "My bow has a heavier draw weight than your bow" trap. Pull what you are comfortable with and no more otherwise not only will you tire easily, your accuracy will...

Longbows Ahh.... Many longbowmen do indeed makew their own bows. Numerous kits are avalable and I would seriously suggest that you start with one of those as it will have all of the materials that you reqire in the kit. Most longbows ( except yew) are a composite of two or three woods and...
