It is a beauty!
If any time a piece of yew drops on my hands, I will use backing; thank you for the comment.
This tipe of handle is something I´ve search for but I could not accomplish. Mantaining a centered position with the tips at the hand pressure dot and at the same time approaching the arrow pass to this center line.
Was it natural this condition at this stave or you forced it somehow?

Thanks again guys!
Juan Antonio - this type of handle is nice to have naturally grown but can also be carved on any bow - it's called a z-handle and I learnt this from bushboy who was posting here back in the days. I do this on all of my bows, just too many advantages!
cheers
