- Here is the promised follow-up video to last weeks where we looked at a Self Yew Longbow that has seen some serious use.
This time we work on the areas spotted in the last video and hopefully manage to save the bow.

Well done. A bow is a terrible thing to waste.
Thanks
A bit like Trigger's road sweeping brush. 🤔😏
Lol, nearly, just worth a bit more.
You could think of maybe backing the bow with rawhide? Would maybe give the bow a few pounds, those pounds you took of by scraping the back. Would look great, and fitting the look of a self-bow😊 Just a thought...
Hi, you could, but then it would not be an English Longbow, so its not an option for us.
@@longbows Arhhh, didn know that, thanks for clarifying. Thought English Longbows were defined by the shape - interesting.
Does applying a very thin cyanoacrylate glue that soaks well into the fibres do anything to strengthen the back of a bow that may be prone to lifting splinters?
Maybe, I have no idea, we dont use that sort of thing in English Longbows.
I would think one could sinew back an old yew bow, but it would also not be the same bow.
But, I don't know about the UK, but here in the US, some of the competitions are pretty fussy about the exact specifications of the bows. A self bow, is a self bow.
indeed, it would no longer be an English Longbow
My question is after being told that one has to not violate the growth ring on the back of the bow would you not have to expose the . UnViolated growth ringalong the entire back or is it not absolutely nessessary with Yew
There's a video in that, suffice to say you are probably over worrying about it, I usually remove the bark, tidy up the back as far as tools marks go and never touch the back again apart from sanding.
Why not do a sinew backing after the scrapping? That should prevent further grain lifting.
Because it would no longer be an English Longbow.
@@longbows No, but it would be a functional bow. Still, can't wait to see how it turns out. Great channel!
We only make English Longbows, it is functional. Thanks.
Rawhide?
...in 8
is it safe to use a bow stringer with a leather pouch design when the bow has horn tips?
We dont advise that sort of stringer for English Longbows.
Oh fiddlesticks, 2nd!
Still on the podium!
