    If I didn't know already that you guys knew so much, I'd think it was a lost episode of Reeves and Mortimer. Very funny, and just the tonic we need (PS I'm not going near Richard's horn...).

    I watched your Video on the lemon wood , stays you had for sale
    Sad you can not export it to the USA
    I would loved to have tried to make a long bow from it
    My research here has been in vain
    No wood merchants here seams to be able to obtain it
    My inquiries say it comes from Cuba or middle America
    Can not believe it is not available
    My I ask where did you get your Supply originally?
    Thanks any info would be most welcomed

      Hi, we mentioned in the video where we got it. Perhaps search under Degame, Lemonwood is just a generic term. It gets imported from South America so you must be able to find it!!!

      Thank you
      I think you said importers , that is all I heard, well I did and also used the name Degame and still got no where
      Thank you anyhow

      Yes, we have never personally imported it, we have done with Yew and Osage, but not Lemonwood, the material in this video is offcuts, I had to rewatch the video as I had no idea what we said a year ago. The video I was thinking of where we mention where we get Lemonwood is one of the woodstore tour, we talk about how we went to one of the Victorian Bowyer's old factories that was being sold off including the wood inside, we got lucky, that is obviously no longer available, we do not have a current supplier. I am amazed that you can't find any on the native continent, if you can't get any then we can't!!!

    I would like so much to buy it. But the shipping cost to Brazil is insane. =(

    Do you think that shipping to US would be cost prohibitive ?

    • @longbows
      @longbows  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry, it would be very expensive.
