Great bow! Tiller, finish, overlays - all really well done! Will you add a grip cover and/or arrow pass?
Your Dad will certainly be delighted!  :)

thanks buddies! that are the compliments I was looking for  8)
to clearify: I'm "Dad" - it's my personal bow and my first yew - after I did one for my son ("branch") and one for my wife ("mum's yew"). Doing the "yew family line" at the moment...

Nzuka: They are approx 5/8" @ the nocks
TorstenT: No wrap - I like the wooden feeling in my hands and I like more the tillering job than the stitching and artwork job...maybe i'll start to do some extra work on my bows after I learnt the basics

By the way: It approved to be also a family bow that can be shot by 5year old sons...Finally tried to catch the magic evening light on the bow - but photography also is an art of it's own that takes time...

Cheers
