Longbow Workshops and Bows for Sale.

2 Day Workshop

This unique, 'Red Letter Day' type experience, offers you the opportunity of making your own bow, which is then yours to keep. Under the careful supervision of Bowmaker Will Lord, (who has been teaching the art of bow making for over 15 years), you'll be guided through the process over two splendid days. On arrival, you will decide on the type of bow you want to make and receive a laminated bow stave, (the roughed out blank), of beautiful Hickory, Purple Heart and Lemon Wood. You’ll learn how to tiller the limbs, fix buffalo horn / antler nocks to the ends, create a leather handle and even produce the linen bow string, to make your bow fully functional. A fantastic gift for anyone wanting an introduction to archery or for those interested in practical history & bows. Suitable for both complete novices and experienced bow makers, you’ll be sure to have a great time and unlike most experience gifts, (unless you do something really crazy!), you will leave with lasting memento, by way of your very own, hand crafted bow that is yours to keep and enjoy. The course includes lunch and refreshments on both days. All materials are also included within the vouchers price. click here to contact us and arrange a booking.
