I'm gonna make one out of plum when I find just the right stave. Its a tough call, but I would give it a try. You've  got the chops for it.

I think my vote goes to the more Egyptian style. It would be something to give you an extra bit of challenge, the stave looks like its not as challenging as some of the other types we've seen on here so i would think taking it to another level of difficulty would be more rewarding and since its your last yew for the year then really you would want to go out with a bang right?  ;D

I prefer the look's of a nice deflex/reflex, great shooters too
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Alright!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

"...marshmallow backed pink sherbet wood"... excellent. That's funny right there.
Straight wood may make a better bow, but crooked wood makes a better bowyer
