Good Afternoon Yew
« on: August 21, 2010, 05:23:15 pm »
Just finished this yew splice out of a yew branch that was 48"
Sliced it with a w splice at 66" long 45#@26
Tips are long horn peaces wrapped with Dog bane.
The handle is wrapped with Decoy cord then a leather grip and rest Wrapped stunk style with cordage
The string leans a little to the rest side , guess that"s OK as long as it hits target.
I did not back this one.Good afternoon. Phillip

Thanks all, I got the Yew Branch at my local exotic wood distributor.
The Tips I was going to use on another short  bow but that failed while tillering.
