Noel, that is not the way this trade works. All names go in a hat and a reciepient is choses for you. No one knows who makes what for whom . 
  I made a yew war bow a few years ago, 95#@30". Too heavy for me to shoot so I gave it away.  ;)

i wasn't trying to choose someone i know thats not how it works, i was just curious about who could, as i want  to start more in that strength of bows and didn't want to waste a new topic on it

if they build it i will shoot it, or at least attempt to, hurt my self, recover, and repeat until i can ;D
bythe way if you get someone wanting a 100lb bow, its probably me >:D

Plenty of guys on the "War Bow" thread that love the heavy bows. Have you been over there to check them out?
