Fit for any Englishman. Pretty amazing at 22"ntn. It's shooting pencils thirdy yards ( most of which they spiral) and putting them through cardboard. Shot my actual practice arrows about fifteen yards. Made of Good ol yew of course.

Poison tip those pencils and you got a hunter!  That thing is awesome! .
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

What spine pencils are you using. Where do you get bodkins for them? Perhaps a barrel tapered pen might give better performance. ;)

Maybe I should try some eraser nocks!  The bow looks awesome.

I love the contrast between the ivory colored sapwood and salmon colored heartwood!  Should be the perfect bow for a very happy new born bowyer somewhere in Old Blighty.  ...don't forget to put your Bowyer's mark on her!
