That's stunning.  What a gorgeous colour.  Very nice shape to the tiller as well, congrats on a beautiful bow!

Nice job on the tiller. Yew is pretty wood for sure.

Nicely done! Gotta love yew. Good tiller... it's definitely a bendy handle bow. Do you find it hard to brace your bow with the tip overlays like that?
