Nice bow. :) love the hooks. Chris I have had lots of wood do that when the bark
was left on,especially saplings,I always figured the bark and sap wood was drying faster than the core/belly wood ,sorta of like sinew and draws it into reflex. :-\ :)
Don't know but unless it is out of control re flexing I like it when it does.  ;) :)

Those hooks look like horns.  Great job man.  Very cool gift.

Sweet to see this puppy posted up Bryce....but I want to see the real full draw.  I want to see those hooks unwinding out to 29" .  Shoot, Wyldynne has more crack showing than he does length drawing there.   ;D  Gabe you will have to indulge us.  I have to see that girl working!

Pappy, Chris is referring to yew drying into Deflex.  Odd since most woods dry into reflex. 
"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

Nice hooks but I wonder if they have gone beyond usefulness to dead weight, not trying to start anything, just thinking about the benefits of a recurve
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Yeah, but if you saw 'em off the string won't stay on ::)  ;)
I s'pose the question is... at full draw does the string fully lift off?
