Don, you do realize this bow dates to June 2007?

It is an amazing bow. I remember it from when it was first posted. And, it won Bow of the Month back in 2007.

I just came across this post and would like to comment, I have made a replica bow the same as this but used ash instead of Yew, did not want to risk wasting  real bow wood. Ash does tend to follow the string a bit but the bow turned out ok. Pulls about 35ib at 24". What is your brace height as mine is quite low about 4 1/2" I am using a hemp string which has been pre-stretched. The bow shoots lovely which surprised me for such a short bow. I am now tempted to make a Yew/sinew bow of about 45lb pull. Well done yours looks superb. I have to decorate mine yet and finish grip and string silencers. Looking forward to looking at the rest of your posts.

I got to see and draw that jewel last spring. Steve brought a batch of his bows to a shoot we all attended. He does great replica work.
