True..

-Anyways, I have plans to pick out one of the bows and try to replicate it as good as I can using different staves of yew, and then compare the results.  -Just need to find time for it :)

I wish you all the best and if I could I would wish you sufficient time.

Must add that you are lucky in being able to obtain yew staves, wish I could.

Yew is quite hard to come by, at least good quality yew. Some of the staves are traded, some bought, and some I have found myself. I have one Italian, 8 Norwegian and 5 pacific yew staves available that hold good quality. I hope to find time for this project, as I really think it would be a fun comparison.
