Haka - 64" Birch bark backed Yew Maruki Longbow by Sweet Chariot

Thank you for visiting my listing 

Haka is an Asymmetrical Japanese selfbow Longbow made from common Yew and backed with silver Birch Bark. I made the bow operate as a Selfbow and then applied the backing for various benefits including strength.

The tip Overlays are Mahogany and are shaped to a blunt tip to form a compromise between top speed and tip strength. This is my favourite tip shape do far. 

64". Around 35lbs at 28". Shooting thumb draw from the right of the bow. Brace height is 8". I shoot and test all the bows extensively and make sure they are working as they should. I do this with a focus on smooth draw, comfortable shooting and bow longevity 

This bow has the widest profile of the Maruki I have made and has a lovely smooth feel with a quiet release. This is also the flattest of the Maruki but still holds a decent amount of reflex and beautiful shape in all stages.

You can see me shooting all the bows I've made on my YouTube channel Sweet Chariot Woodcraft. I foraged all the materials myself and spent the last 2 years teaching myself the craft. 

I would like the price to include 3 hazel arrows matched to the weight of the bow and a fresh Flemish twist string. I can also include a darker leather handle wrap

Please remember postage in the UK will cost around £50. Offers are welcome. I would like these bows to go to good homes 

If you have any questions please ask and thank you again
