sorry for some duplicates on the photos. it was all or nothing day i guess. heres my trade bow all finished up. as mentioned earlier I ended up with a good bow out of this wonky yew stick. it has a lot of character and knot plugs but dosent seem to effect the performance and function. Ive put about 200 shots thru it and all apprears to be good. no noticable handshock and really zips an arrow. I find it tends to like 500-550 grain arrows but have done some recent shooting with my 610grains and it shot very well also. would be a good hunting bow for my recipient. I will let it be a surprise and they can decide what they do with it. it had retained 3.5" reflex after all my shooting. after adding the goat skin overtop the sinew and letting it dry it only added 8 grams. not bad. very light and this stuff. I added some dots to pretty it up and break up the edge a bit. the stacked leather arrow shelf is an idea i took from another recent build that i figured would also look good an is removable by the new owner easy enough if they choose. decided not to leather wrap the handle as it looked good the way it was. added the beaver tail arrow pass and burned in my string groves at the tips and called it done. will ship tomorrow am. thanks for looking!
