Hello again....like i promised, whenn the bow is ready i will post some pictures...so...the bow is finaly finished, it wass a real challange trying to keep this bow in one piece....the belly of the bow wass full with cracks....and all the time,,whenn i tried to pull the bow to full draw, the belly of the bow starting to lok like little waves....like it wass going to delaminate.....so...finaly i decided to wrap the bow with hemp in those problematic areas....and thenn, for aspect, i decided to make some little wraps, also with hemp , to give him a moore primitive aspect.....the hemp wass soked in resin.....aniway, the bow is ok now....the cracks looks ok.....and im verry happy, to be the owner of a yew long bow....i know it sounds a little exagerate....but for me its like a dream come true.... i have to say thks again to my friend Ionut, who gave me the stave....thks alot man..

Here u can see the cracks on the belly....there wass to many cracks, and to be onest, without the hemp wrap, i dont think the bow would have survived...
