53# Yew longbow "Lady" Lots of pics

[Carson (CMB)]

I just finished another salmon-backed yew longbow.  This one is more of an ELB cross-section than the american flatbow yew I posted recently.  It took a little more set, about 1.5" resting, but it is the sweetest shooting bow I have ever laid my hands on.  I named her Lady because she is sweet, well-mannered, good-looking, and deadly.

Beautiful bow, especially the tips.

Thanks guys.  I am glad you like the bow.  That cork handle does feel nice in the hand.  I am glad you guys like the tips.  I felt like I was really pushing it by getting them that thin.  Doing the honr as inlay, rather than overlay was challenging.  Glad I did it, but I dont think I will be doing that style of tips very often.
