Hi all,
This bow was made from a lovely piece of Wych Elm from North Wales. Very dense and clean wood. Pretty rare for wych elm, even more so for UK elm in general.
The bow has only seen probably a hundred arrows or so and has graduated bow school (weekend in the wet and cold woods).
It has buffalo horn overlays at the tips and has a custom Veg-tan leather grip my my makers ID.
The bow has been stained with a warm dark dye which comes out quite pretty, red in places. Finished with several coats of Tru-oil and wax.
It shoots very hard and fast and is a great bow. If it were not so heavy and i didnt have far too many bows than I will ever use I would just keep it.
I dont have an exact draw weight on this bow but I would guess mid 60`s at 27 and so is a pretty heavy draw for even a seasoned archer. If you are hoping that going up from a 45lb bow to 60 wont be so bad you may get a shock. Maybe not the first dozen arrows but certainly the next dozen. saying that though some of my customers are happy only shoot a dozen from a daft heavy bow and just hang it on a wall. Kind like that my self.
So before I sling it on ebay or just keep it I would like to offer it here. £190. String, bow bag but no arrows. I can make some up at cost if you would like to cover the materials. It is cheaper than I would make a custom bow for but given its draw weight there may not be many takers. Postage at cost, we can figure something out.
I will also take some better pictures when the yellow orb inhabits the sky once again.
