Great looking bow! I love the way Yew looks, I probably prefer it to osage even. Never worked with it before but it always looks awesome.

Good point Fece! No the back just debarked but the half of it from the sapling compression wood side and there the sap going light brown. Nearly the whole back could see a line on the middle of the back one side white  and the other light brown :)

Thanks a lot guys! I'm highly appreciate your kind words!

I ve allways want a snakey bow with stone age look, but hard to find a piece of wood like this. Good yew is rare here, most of tham  fast grown trees, but I had luck with this one :) Used axe, rasp, scraping iron and sandpaper for the work.
