First Yew[finely done]
« on: June 28, 2010, 07:22:39 am »
I have been working on this on and off for a few months,spring is very busy around the Club and shop so sometime it takes me forever.This was a piece of scrap off of a stave Jesse traded for at the Classic year before last.He got what he wanted and offered me the rest.Nice and clean except for one big knot about mid limb,it made it a challenge for me to tiller,also never working with yew
before made for an interesting project. Didn't get it bending just like I wanted but finely call it good enough.I have shot it several hundred time and it is sweet,pretty fast and light in the hand.It is holding up straight after shooting and coming back to just over and inch of reflex after resting.
66 n-n 53@26.Yew with rawhide backing,also river snake skins. Buffalo tips. Hope you like it,I sure do. :)

Thanks guys,no not off the hand but almost,small leather shelf in the grip. Didn't tiller out as well as I would have liked but done all I could with the big knot and it seems to be holding up well and shoots nice.Plan on doing some hunting with it this fall. :)

Beautiful bow that shoots fast and hard. Enjoyed watching you make it, but enjoyed the smile on your face as you drilled the 12 ring even more. Congrats!

Cool yew bow Pappy. I become fond of yew even though I've only made a few yew bows. Not as tough as osage but so far tough enough for one of my bows!  ;D
