What would you do?(teaser pic)
« on: July 16, 2013, 03:12:50 am »
This is my last yew stave until next year. I already know what I'm going to do with it but I'm curious and open to ideas :)
Look at that beautiful, perfectly even deflex. Gets my blood moving!

I am guessing you make a bow from it ;)

That is one heck of a stave.  So so nice.  I almost prefer deflexed yew these days.  I have two ideas:

(#1) is a classic, deflex handle (just slightly bending at full draw) with a mild recurve starting about 8 inches from the tips.

(#2), also retains the deflxed handle but starts the recurve much closer to mid limb creating an angular bow a brace and a rounder tiller at full draw (a-la a modified Egyptian profile).

hmmm I can't hardly decide.  #2 is riskier, we know #1 works well with Yew, but the payoff on #2, man, the payoff could be schweeet.

I'd turn that into a stunning walking stick, or set of shelves.

Trade it for an osage stave  >:D 

Just kidding.   I'm sure what ever you make out of it will be something great.

Gabe both those options are ringing in my head the Egyptian one is a bit riskier but it sounds soooo smooth.
