Longbows
My longbows are made from a composite of fiberglass and timber. Precision ground fiberglass skins cover the back and belly of the limbs and take the compression and tension forces in the drawn bow.
My longbows show a pleasant D-shaped profile when strung and drawn. The straight laid design creates a bow with high performance but without the skittish nature of curved bows seeking speed as their primary objective.
Please have a browse in my gallery for inspiration. Each bow featured has been made to the individual specifications of the customer.
Alternatively, I sometimes have a number of bows in stock. Please contact me if you would like to me to give you a call to discuss the creation of a custom bow or if you would like to purchase a stock bow.

Pricing
My standard longbow is built with single piece of timber in the riser. Limbs include a bamboo core with timber outer laminations under clear scrim free fiberglass. Standard nock overlays are canvas or linen micarta and are suitable for fastflite or other low elasticity strings. My experience with horn nocks also shows that they are suitable for use with the fastflite strings. Every bow comes with a bow bag with sewn in leather base, dacron string and string keeper.
Please contact me to discuss your design ideas and to find out what timber species I have in stock.
