Very Nice work Jonas! I bet that is a shooter. Congratulations from Oregon!  :)

You are guessing right  ;) For the moment I need a short break from Yew, right now I m about to finish my first Osage bow (unfortunatly its rather expensive here), but there is also a lot of elm, elderberry, cherry....which needs my attention.
The next Yew bow will hopefully turn out to be a warbow (for starters  ;) ), my aim is 80-85lbs@29", but I need to practise a bit more before I can handle these drawweights

Yup, good work :)
I found with horn nocks I hated doing them initially >:(, but the more I did the quicker, easier and more enjoyable it became. It's one of the bits you can put your own style into :laugh:.
Beware of sharp edges/grooves on the side of the nocks as the loops pivot upards during the draw and can chaffe there.

Looks like a beaut' :)
Yes it would be good idea to use a chainsaw file to round out the nock grooves and don't be scared to file grooves into the sides. They won't break! I like to mark where the string is at brace and where it moves to at full draw then make the side groove to suit, wider at the bottom. If you make sure that the horns hole is a slightly smaller diameter than the bows ends then you can blend the limb into the nock whilst reducing it and get that perfect circular transition to them when finished.
Overall a very nice bow. Well done.
