sinew-backed yew static (small tweak added)
« on: January 12, 2019, 11:38:39 am »
Hi everyone,

This is the first of 3 sinewed bows I started about 5 months ago. It's English Yew (all heartwood). There's 2 heavy courses of whitetail sinew on her.  :-D

62" ttt w/ 12" of static wood in the handle and on the tips
55# @27"
rattler skins
walnut, erc, & lacewood handle build-up
leather handle
water buffalo tips

Thank you for looking.  :)

Stunning bow. I can't wait till I get up the courage to recurve a wooden bow finally. Very inspiring.
