Another Hickory Backed Yellowheart
« on: April 05, 2011, 10:38:43 pm »
I recently made my Dr. a Hickory backed Yellowheart that I posted back in February, I liked it so much that I had to make myself one.  :)  66"NtN 50# @ 28".  1 3/8ths wide to midlimb to 5/16ths tips.  Handle woods are Padauk, Hickory, Cocobolo, and Yellowheart. Tips are Padauk and Yellowheart. The bow holds around 1.5 inches of reflex. It shoots great and I am really liking this combo... Still got plenty of Yellowheart and Hickory to cut into strips to make different designs with... thinking of trying a R/D next with this combo.  Whaddaya think?  Thanks for looking!  :)

Perfect tiller.   I like the layers on different laminations of wood on the riser and tips. great job on a sweet looking bow.

Looks great Josh.  Tiller looks right on, and I like the wood combo.  I don't think I've seen Yellowheart used before, Very cool.

Thanks Eric!

Thank you Elktracker!

Thanks Rick!  I found a place that carries exotic woods and when I saw the yellowheart on the rack I came back home and searched "yellowheart bows"  on the search function of PA.  Only one bow came up and it was done by Marc St. Louis.  I figured if he'd use it then it had to be a pretty decent bow wood.  It is pretty good in compression. I really like it.  :)

Har de Har Har, Tim! ::)  Thanks for the compliment! :D

Thank you Arrowind! 

Thanks a bunch Ryan!

Great looking bow.  I have never worked with yellow heart.  I have found a place to get it.  How does it work?  Is it similar to Ipe?

Great job! I too love yellowheart. Excellent in compression, takes very little set. I have one more piece that I am currently working on (if it every stops raining so I can get outside). I will definitely be making more with this combo (hickory  n yellowheart).

That arc is a joy to behold.  Some tillers just make my shoulder relax when I see them.  Thats one.
