I've just found out that I'm making the arrows for the customer of this bow.  Really looking forward to seeing them with this beautiful replica!

Re: 'Hedeby' Viking Yew Longbow 57#@30" - arrows made for this bow!

These are the arrows that I made for Chris, the owner of this beautiful bow.  They are Nydam replicas - same period, slightly different location.

Full build log on the Arrows section, but hopefully Weylin doesn't mind me posting a couple of pics of the finished arrows on this thread too!  It was a real pleasure to make these, especially knowing just how gorgeous the bow they're being matched to is!

oh wow, thank you for posting your amazing arrows! ... and bringing back Weylin's bow - I missed it!

The new owner is a lucky guy, possessing masterpieces of two master bowyers and fletchers.

Can't find words, bow and arrows are replicas as its best.
