Pearlie, this bow is coming along very nice. You will love the way yew shoots and it is so light in the hand its like you are holding nothing at all.  ;)

Elb's are nice to have...they are excelent for filling up cabinets and empty space;-)

I for one is glad to see you make a hunting flat from that piece...chances are it will go though ALOT more arrows than if you had made an Elb:-).

And this one have the looks of an awsome bow...cant wait to see it finished;-)

Cheers

If anyone was stupid enough  skilled enough to chase a micro ring on yew sapwood, it would be yew, Pearl Bum. 

I aint met a ring I cant chase if I have to. HHB, hackberry, ash, osage, locust, mulberry and yew have all succombed to my drawknife and/or scrapers. This yew was surely the thinnest of them all. I just didnt want to add any physical weight to it with rawhide.

Bottom left, upper right. At first brace I can see the upper is tad stiff midway, other than that I like it. Its pulled to 20" now. In true ELB fashion I made my bottom limb 1" shorter. Thats something I never, ever do.

I like how it works, very soft and easily removed. I think I had about 45 minutes from the saw to a floor tillered blank. Crazy soft wood.
