well you are both welcome to take one each if you both want, the only problem is  a fine drying crack has appeared on the back of one stave. i can take a photo and show you. i would be amazed to see one of these bows i think the staves are to difficult for me to attempt. del im in bolton near manchester.

i managed to cut the other elder tree down tonight. i got it split but the split ran out so i didnt get both halfs. i think if i had a bandsaw i could get 2 bows from this i dont want to risk splitting it again as its abit snakey and dont want to end up with none.it is 68" long so theres abit more to play with one side is pretty clean and the other side has a few growths.

Near Chester mate not too far.
Will have a look and see what's spare and let you know via PM. Always a place or two where a bit of pruning can be done. ;)
