You never stop impressing and inspiring me. I keep lookin at my yew and just waiting til the right time to give it full attention and hopefully get something half as sweet as your bows.

What a great looking bow. Now I have something to shoot for with some of the lesser pieces of yew I have around.

Oh, man, do less-than-gorgeous yew bows even exist?  You sure did a lot with what the tree gave you!  Nice bow.

Very cool bow my friend! Be a good shooter for a ground blind, nice and compact!

That's one nice bow Ryan. I have a bunch of standing dead yew " boards". I should try something like this. Always a pleasure to see your work! Cheers- Brendan

Well done. I think the string will hold. I always figured sinew strings lasted a couple hundred shots, but well made sinew strings have proved to last thousands of shots.
