Pay no mind to this flock of stone-casting heathens. ;)  That is a pretty bow from a piece of wood most of us would have given away!   ;D

Nice work.  I like it!

Nice bow! Good work to get a 55" piece of yew to pull 26". I would be scared to pull one that short that far - too many explosions in my past. I bet it shoots a fast arrow even with the string follow unbraced profile. Again, nice work!

Thanks all! I also noticed the big stiff handle section... I will definitely take more pictures in the future it really helped to see the problems, I may even loose a few pounds and make it bend more.

 I like the character in your bow and like Shaun said above getting that 55"er to pull 26 is no easy feat. Nice bow tdeland and welcome.

tony, the bow came out really well. can't wait to see what happens with the one you brought over tonight! I'm really looking forward to starting that stave i split, it's the waiting that kills me.  At least i have all that black locust waiting for me at work.

Very nicely done.  26" draw for that length is doing very well and especially with a charater stave. Congratulaions

Nice looking bow, like the character. I just noticed the tracker's logo on our shirt and made the connection when PortlandJoe spoke up. I see you all at Washington park all the time. Hope to see your bow in person there some time. I'm just putting some tru-oil on a yew longbow that I just finished up and got shooting. It's great stuff, huh?
