Thanks for showing this bow "mikaluger". Looks nice, by the way.
This helped me also. I´ve got a couple of yew staves, grown here in Finland, but they are not so good quality to make selfbows. I´ve removed the bark and the staves are now drying up to next winter at least. I´ve been wondering whether to use hickory or bamboo to back them. Looks like I´m now going towards bamboo after seeing you bow. Most likely less set and faster than with hickory. More to come in their own chain on these pages when the staves are dry enough.
