Making the Self Yew Longbow Part 1 - Preparing the Stave

In Part 1 of my new series of videos on making a self yew longbow I describe the anatomy of the yew stave before removing the bark and cambium layers and then attempt the difficult task of taking the layer of sap wood down to a single growth ring. It wasn't as easy as I had hoped!

The short intro music is a track called "The Marine Village" by the artist Ethereus and can be downloaded from the Soundclick.com website.
