Excellent, as usual Dave. Really like the triangles. Both great looking bows.

Hers a couple pics showing the original r/d yew billet bow I made while back. It’s the top one.  The next one down is the heartwood only billet belly drops from the bow above it and then the full stave yew bow bottom.  You can see the difference a little sinew makes.  They all shoot nice but I have to say I still prefer the r/d yew billet bow as far as smoothness and shooting pleasure.  It’s probably one of my most pleasant shooters and accurate.

Wow…you really did a nice job on those two. I really like how you finished the rawhide backings. Excellent work!  I appreciate the details on both bows. I’m in the middle of a sinew-backed heartwood yew recurve, thanks in part to your work on here. Much appreciated!
