Title: Summer project just arrived
Post by: stuckinthemud on February 10, 2021, 06:05:20 pm

Hi guys,
My summer project just got delivered. Would have gone and got it but Wales is still under a travel ban. Oh well. Anyway wych elm stave, gonna build a nice chunky crossbow, replica of an 11th century French bow to see what the original could do. Should be lots of fun. Never worked with elm before, any advice?(https://stuckinthemudsite.files.wordpress.com/2021/02/20210210_2128158905111397377225243.jpg)

French crossbow!  Build an English longbow and you can have a war with yourself!
