        If anyone would like the whole article, it is a 943kb PDF, just PM me with your email and I can send it to you. It’s quite neat.

          I didn’t know until I read this article, but a lemonwood stave to build a long bow should cost about one dollar 😉

            Inflation here in the states probably has it up to $2. 😉

                For 23¢ a gallon for regular gas, won’t cost ya much to get here!! :lol::lol: Tellin’ my age uh? When I first moved to Amarillo in 1963 gas @ Whiting Bros. Stations was quite often 16¢ a gal. Ha. Bow wood? Dunno. Had a Sears and Roebuck all fiberglass bow then, 40#, and a rabbit slayer. Took it bear hunting once with an old neighbor gentleman. My pop told me how lucky I probably was by not finding hide nor hair of a bear.
