Bow Immersion

This is a seven day course, filled with all things bow! Build a yew wood bow, with all the extras. This class has time to do recurving, tip overlays, and backings (if desired). We also teach you how to build a dozen arrows that match your bow; take you out into the Pacific rainforest to see where the yew grows and get a chance to do some shooting. Great for folks who are travelling from out of town or those who want the extras.

I would just like to first thank you for sharing your beautiful property and very warm hearts.  I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the hands on learning I got.  My bow is magnificent, my wife was so impressed with it and almost couldn't believe I made it."

Hi Jamie, I would again like to thank you for a great workshop. I enjoyed the time immensely and now have a great new bow.

UK Longbow Workshop

This course is four days long. An opportunity to build a traditional English Yew longbow, complete with horn caps. You will learn how a bowyer works with the wood (including some knots and/or twists) and the secret of the tiller stick. The class is taught in Birkenhead through the Longbow Shop.

Thanks again for the incredible course. I had a great time. And although I was almost completely convinced for the first two days that I was never going to end up getting to the end with a working bow (lack of confidence), your support and encouragement made all the difference.

Your patience and knowledge are incredible. The opportunity to work with a master bowyer was a privilege. And to come home with a true English longbow was so gratifying.
