The poor stave never stood a chance when you picked it up. Thankfully, it surrendered and ugly duckling became a swine.  ;D

I have never made a bow from yew. If I ever get to, I would want it to look like this one. Really nice Del.

Seeing this bow makes me seriously want to do another yew bow!  My budget is tight but will take what I can get.  Inspiring!

Super impressed Del. I love working with snakey staves but all those roller coaster humps would make me go cross eyed and likely insane. Working a usable bow out of that stuck is a testament to your skill. Outstanding.

Wow! Awesome bow. Reminds me of a bow that Chet Stevenson made that I saw in one of the TBB's. Nicely done. Jawge
