the rings are very very thin. the sapwoodrings are 0.01181 inch
yes, german yew is excellent. but only the yew trees in the bavarian mountains

finish: 2 layers linseed oil (1 day drying) and 2 layers tung oil varnish, cooked with linseed oil (1 week drying)
it`s a finish for violin  http://kremer-pigmente.de/shopint/index.php?cat=0604&product=79055

Sweet looker! Kind of an American flatbow style :)

Reminds me of the yew bows Wally Miles made!
