Hi. I am a bowyer, I make longbows. I have been making bows since the early 1990's,mostl American Flat Bows (composite timber laminations and fibreglass). More recently I have been making laminated English longbows (timber laminations only). I am interested in sourcing (terrible word) various hard to get timbers and will be posting lots of questions.

Welcome! What sort of timbers are you after - we may be able to assist with some potential suppliers.
How does Spotted Gum (Corymbia maculata) go for bows?
