Nicely done Blane. Looks like a real smooth, snappy 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

How to draw attention 101:

1) Get some yew.
2) build a bow like this.
3) Post it.

Good job, your cousin will be happy!
Are you sure about the knocking point? Looks a bit low, but could be camera angle.

Pretty looking bow, as Yew always is. i would critique by saying that your outer limbs look a bit stiff imo.
