Yew bow
« on: March 28, 2021, 05:23:15 pm »
This bow is 63" ntn  40lbs at 26". The stave appeared super clean until I got into it a ways and there were some huge cracks in the belly and around the handle, so the bow became much smaller than what I originally thought I could get out of the piece. Yew is real nice to work though, easy on the hands. I finished it quite a while back so its been shot a lot, and I find it real easy to pick up and sling a few arrow. Any way I thougt what the heck I will post some Pics.
