Pretty Bow!!!
"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

Yew is beautiful wood.  Very nice bow.  Looks like a sweet shooter to me.

Nice!
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Really beautiful bow! It looks like you have a pretty thick layer of sapwood on this bow, do you notice any effect from that? I have some billets that have some spots near the end of the limb with about 60% sapwood, so I'm curious if there is any risk there.
