I said above the canyon wall!
Some strong eyes did glow....
It was the leader of the land baby, Oh my God,
The great White Buffalo! Look out!


haha came to mind after seeing the name.

But really the Bow looks absolutely stunning! Great work!

Stunning Gordon, simply stunning.  That is a beauty. The rawhide looks flawless.  Gotta admire a good piece of yew.

Gordon, I picked up a nice stave of yew at MOJam and your bow post has me inspired again. Nice to see an "old school" type yew bow with draw weight to match. As usual, your attention to detail and tiller shape set the standard for us all to work towards.

Gordon, How can you out-do yourself over and over.  This is another outstanding bow.  I am working a yew bow right now and your bow is really inspirational.  I am glad to know about the heat treating;  I wasn't sure about heat with yew.  Great tiller, decoration and stying as always.  Thanks for sharing.
