About The Holmegaard bow
The Holmegaard bow was found in Denmark at a place called Holmegaard (surprise), only a few miles from where the author of the all-in-one e-book "Making Traditional Bows" lives. Thus, you have a unique opportunity to learn more about the Holmegaard flatbow(s). An entire chapter in the book is dedicated to the Holmegaard bow. Among other things you will find out what one of the first people to lay hands and eyes on these very old bows wrote about them in 1945.
The e-book "Making Traditional Bows" also includes: How to make a longbow, how to make arrows and much more.

The design of the Holmegaard bow
The design of the Holmegaard bow is also referred to as a flatbow design. When making a bow this design is very versatile and forgiving in regard to both the quality and the strength of the wood being used.
With the aid of a former archeologist at the National Museum of Denmark the author has obtained the dimensions of the complete Holmegaard bow based on the most resent (2010) measurements.
In the e-book the author makes a replica of the old flatbow, which is afterwards shot and tested in one of the many video clips included in the e-book.
Sometimes the Holmegaard bows and those alike are referred to as primitive bows.
