I know, I checked it a while back. I know mine isn't a signed 352nd but I can live with that.
What appealed to me when I was buying it was that I used to live fairly close to Bodney so it seemed right. I also wanted a russet as it seemed different, as most copies like Avirex etc seemed to be in seal. Then when i got it I fancied the seal too so I worked a bit of overtime to get that too. Now a GW is on the cards though i would like a Lewis Leathers Bronx if funds permit.
What I try to do is make a few warbows and sell them on. Then it means any hobbies like jackets etc fund themselves and I don't get ear-ache from diverting cash away from the household.

Thanks Andrew,
As soon as I get some more bows made I can justify a new one. A self yew warbow equates to about the same price as a GW A2. I tend to price things by how many bows it will cost me and then it all finances itself. For instance a Hueur Bundeswehr watch would cost about 2.5 bows.
How much does a Kelso work out at now roughly?

That's not bad at all. In fact it's about what my A2s cost a few years back from ELC.
I imagine a G1 or M422 would cost more as there's more work in them manufacturing wise?
It's about 0.75 bow cost then, which should work well as I've got one to make up while it's the college holidays.

It's only a baby 105lb @32in
I made one afterwards that weighed 170lb @ 32in draw length. My friend Joe shot a world record with it using a livery arrow, with both the arrow and bow made to Mary Rose specifications. It was a monster and broke a fast flite string while I was making it as it was 188lb until it was reduced 18lb.
Very proud of it though
