Wow! Nice work!  I like them all!!!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

That yew has some beautiful grain. You got great bends from them all in spite of the irregularities. Nice job!!
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Very nice bows; that's some of the most beautiful, knotted wood I've seen.
