Northwestern Style, Sinew Backed Yew Shorty 65lbs@21"

[PaleoNinja]

Thanks for the Kind Words Gentlemen,

Bryce I agree with you, It could have used a little more bend in the Handle but I accidentally made it slightly narrower than I intended, So I decided to Keep the Bending in the Handle very very slight, only perceivable by feel to the archer.

Tom Sawyer your eyes do not lie, there are two very large scooped out areas in the bows working section.  When I received the stave I Cursed the two large Bumps that were easily visible even with the Bark on.  Beleive it or not I ended up using a Hammer and Chisel to scoop these sections out.  My blood Pressure was off the charts while I did this as you can imagine.  I then Tillered through that area using a small piece of a Belt Sander Belt and a great deal of patience.  In the End I'm glad that the bow had those bumps because I love how they look now.

Killir Duck- It's 2.5 inches wide, very wide and very thin indeed.

What's the handle width?

 Nice bow, is he drawing that bow with a pinch grip?

Paleoninja,   Did you have that bow at the western States Trad Rendevous?  This appears to be the same bow, but the finish and artwork have really made it stand out.   Great finish!   If it's the same bow I shot out on the golf course I can tell evreyone that it really spits an arrow.   Ron

Very nice flat bow Paleo, Love the art work and love the yew paddle bows in general. Great looking profile.
