7/x Yew trees were also a favoured (very hard) wood for #LongBows and #Spears, from #prehistoric times right to the middle ages and beyond. Even now, the German bowmaker Ulli Stehli travels to the #Uetli forest in #Switzerland to get #Yew wood for his bows

I had the chance to get up close and personal with some incredible Tudor artefacts this week, including this beautiful horn inkwell and some longbows 🤩
