Swimming in pacific yew
« on: July 04, 2019, 10:59:43 am »
Hi y'all, once again thanks for the warm welcomes. Posted yesterday about several pacific yew staves I got my hands on but I'm uncertain on gauging thier quality. If I could have some wise eyes take a look if appreciate it greatly. All are over 72' and at least 4in across. They still need another 6mo tonseason

Staves look good... the ones in the round will make stick bows (e.g, just chop away the belly and sides of the branch until it's a bow... don't worry if sapwood shows on the sides and edges of the belly)
