boo yew trade bow
« on: May 15, 2013, 11:20:19 pm »
well..my first trade bow came in too light so I decided to take out a bow I started a couple of years ago. it is a bamboo backed yew in a homy style it has zebra wood to reinforce the handle area. I worked this bow out to be 55#@28" it is 65" long. limbs are 1.5" wide and taper in the last 12", has 3/8" tips. the handle is made of antelope with a ebony arrow shelf...really small. a really fast shooter. this is on the top of the poundage scale but the tiller seemed really good so I didnt want to mess up ;D I hate having this go to the last minute but this has been a busy spring, hope the new owner will like it. will ship out tomorrow to:....oh crud, I forgot who I was making this for ::)

Looks really nice.   Correct me if I'm wrong are the last part of limbs bending enough, looks like bending mostly in the fades..?

thanks guys. the limbs are supposed to be stiff in the levers of this style so most of the bend is early.

Wow, if someone don't like that there is no pleasing them.
