Little Yew Bow "Tiny Dancer"
« on: June 16, 2019, 04:47:43 pm »
With all the lams and glue I've been messin with lately, I needed a little change of pace.  )P( I had this piece of yew left over from some other projects so...  :BB

She's only a tad over an inch wide and has a bit of natural set back in the handle, which I tried to accentuate with a little heat. She's a quick little lady.  :D

55" ttt
50# @ 27"
antler and buff horn tips
leather handle

Happy Father's Day!

Sweet!  Bucket list thing for me is to work on a piece of Yew.  You did that one proud.

Very nice Jeff. I think Don just named her for you. I kinda like that. Tiny Dancer. I've never worked with Yew yet either. Have a nice little stick from DVS hunter and I love it. Sweet shooting little stick.
Once again Jeff well done.

Thats a great bow, one of my favorite kinds, even though I haven't made one that nice yet. Did you take the sapwood down a bit? Very nice job!

Thanks Slim and Pat.  :)

Tiny Dancer it is Don! I even dig that tune.  :OK

Thanks DC  :D

Yew is definitely among the "royalty" of bow wood BJ. I believe they call her "the queen." If that's the case, I think Tiny Dancer would be a little princess.  O:)

Thank you helmet. I did take the sapwood down a bit

Thanks Del and Leon  )P(
