You might be new, but there's nothin wrong with eyesight. Chris is one of the topshelf self bow builders here.

I have yet to build anything of that caliber but I do aspire to that level. But like GlisGlis and Stringman said that's one beautifully built bow and ain't nothing wrong with my eyesight either!

Now Im mad!!!!!!    Funny your mentioning that Mr. Gabe  ;D. I was talkin' amongst my real (osage) friends and told them yew was killer wood, I loved it, its fast, its easy as pie to work and its light weight. But its not osage, never will be, never can be. Even with all its flaws? Any osage can make good bows just the same. Not just one side or the other of the branch, not just thin rings, not just high elevation. None of that monkey business yew requires, no sir. Its all good bow wood if its yellow!:) Buts thats for another thread.. >:D

I do love yew!....just not as much as King Yellow!

Thanks for all the compliments again fella's. The bow is a real joy to shoot and I love it.....for now..;)

I think all the guys were just trying to be nice to you Pearly! >:D

Hey, you should send that bow to me for independent testing, then I could set 'em straight for you. ;)...........Art

I agree that yew needs to be babied up a little bit. It's not plum after all.  But, it is magic wood. When the stars align, a yew bow feels alive in the hand.

Been out of pocket for a bit.  Glad I didn't miss this.  Very nice Sir.  Dressed too kill, and that full draw looks awesome.

      I've been back about 5 times to look at this beauty!
      The sapwood looks like white chocolate, and it looks
      good enough to eat! I've never worked with osage,
      but I must say that there is something magical and
      mysterious about well worked yew.

      Seeing as you forsee getting tired of it in the near
      future, how many Shinto rasps or arrow bamboo
      shafts would it take you to ship it overseas?
