Absolutely love your videos, I’ve been making flat bows, And Native American short bows for years, but would love to learn how to make English longbows, You make it look like an art, and it really is, keep your videos coming, I’ve learned a lot just watching your videos, thank you very much for what you do

[@longbows]

Awesome! Thank you! Very kind of you to say. I will try to make videos, but it's very hard to find the time as they don't bring in any revenue, will do what I can.

In China, there is the same ancient craft "Luotian" inlay 在中国有同样古老的工艺“螺钿”镶嵌

Very very nice tutorial. Great videography and editing as usual. Your choice of shape and materials is so much nicer and elegant than a simple hardwood circle we see so often. Background music is very relaxing.

[@longbows]

Thank you so much 😀, I make the music myself, so your comments are much appreciated.

Sir I was very interested in finding this video about an arrow plate. It seems that I can find nothing about it on the internet and that no one uses this, I have seen dosen of bow making materials, is this just lazyness or something else? If so, would a thin square strip of fur do the same trick, it might even smooth out the release of the arrow, because instead of it rubbing against the wood or hard leather which could make that couple centimeters of difference in hitting the bullseye.

[@longbows]

Glad you found us. I dont understand your first question, sorry. Fur would just ware away, I wouldnt recommend it. Mother of pearl is traditional in English Longbows, that is why we use it.

[@worldwar1veteran]

@@longbows Well it did answer my question! So thank you. Then I will be adding one to my bow. Mother of pearl arrow pass... good to know.
