Yew warbow. Part IV. Beginner bowyer attempts to make a 100lb warbow. The famous English yew longbow of medieval times was an awesome weapon of war - and I am chronicling my attempt to make a replica of a medieval warbow from a stave of yew. This fourth video shows my beginner's stumblings as I slowly progress through tillering problems to the first draw of the bow. My wish at the start was to make a bow that is similar in power to artillery bows used in the famous battles of Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt during the One Hundred Years War - a bow that requires at least 100lbs of pull to fully draw back the bowstring. I am an inexperienced bowyer with just five bows' experience - so the challenge seems immense. Do join me to see if I can achieve my aim to build a 100lb war bow.
