Hi All,
Its been a long time since i had chance to play with any bows due to the arrival of my baby boy

Ok, its a scrap bit of yew that i de-crowned for various reasons one being some pretty healthy chainsaw scars down the back of the bow

I intend to back the bow with silk and if any wood will hold up to a de-crowning i am told its yew.
I think its about 65 inch long and i steamed in some re-curves and evened up a deflexed limb. Pulled out here to about 16 inch where its 48lbs. To be honest i dont want it anywhere past 50lbs and a bit if i can help it. Is it just a case of getting the outer limbs beinding more or?
All comments welcome, except about the state of my garage
