Are you a sponsor of PA? If not you are not allowed to post bows for sale! Please read the rules and if you already have, read them again! 
 Instead of trying to push your bows here here on PA why don't you share your experiences of building these bows. Join in on our discussions about bow buildng.

I am already a big fan of your work, Kamil.  I would love to see you share more of your process of building them!

I love Yew longbows
