not yew bow but yew tree, i think

and it's letter is E, the bow is for a guy named Eric.  My buddy says he wants runes in the bow, i started thinking of this particular one while i was roughing out the stave...didn't realize it was the right Initial for the intended owner, nor that it meant yew tree! 

I'm making this rune my mark, and will incorporate it somehow into all my bows i think...

I mark all of my bows with a rune-like symbol that I devised many years ago....
Again nice job on the bow.

Finally got some pics from my friend.  This is his dad with the bow, the man who it was intended for.  He loves it!  I've actually seen him since these pics were taken, and he thanked me over and over again and bought me a beer.  It's great to see somebody enjoying something i made for them so much.

Here he is standing, measuring it against his height...he tells me it's exactly right...just lucky, i guess...

Naaah...that's to far to the right: he'll never hit that box of corn flakes like that!  ;D ;D ;D
Nice bow!

That came out pretty nice.  I want to make one like this.  Very scared of knots however.

knots are nothing to worry about, so far...they ARE hard to get through, so eat a hearty lunch first.  When they crack, flow superglue in them and let it set, then you're good to go again.

This one even lost a couple of knots and still held out, even with holes right through the bow!
