I got my wife to take a couple full draw pics with her phone.  This is a sweet shooter.  I will get all the proper pics taken once I get the handle on there.

Here are some better pics.  You can see it took a little set, the bottom limb more so.  The stave was nearly perfectly straight, thanks Snag! The abalone inlay strike plate was my first attempt, and I think I can do a cleaner job on the next one, but I like the way it turned out.

Looks really nice! The tiller is good and the hand wrap turned out well. I really like the salmon skins on the yew. It makes a great color combo.

Thanks guys.   Oh and Del, those nocks on the osage bow in the first pic are bighorn sheep horn, from a small ewe.

Have to get me some yew to try one of these days.

I one day dream of making something so beautiful. And that day is far considering i'm just close to completing my first bow.

Gorgeous. I've been contemplating what kind of overlay's to use on my next yew bow and I think you confirmed that the white is a good look. Thanks for sharing!
