Very nice bow Mike. Is this you getting them all finished before you paddle off into the Canadian wilderness?

Very nice!
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

That is a beautiful bend Mike.  That looks like a very nice sinew job too.  Glad to see you posting bows! 
"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

Very nice.  Reminds me of a little Elm bow I made a few years ago.  Excellent shooting bow and quite fast so I would assume yours is the same

Something like that Nathan  ;D
Dwardo - sin yew why are things like this always obvious when someone else points them out!

Thanks for all the kind comments fellas. I like this bow but can't really shoot it due to a thing I have wrong with my hand....it's looking for a new home at the moment   :-\

really nice arc to it!

Let he who is without sinyew cast the first arrow.

Nicely executed design, not at all what I was expecting from you.  I figured a short yew bow for you would be something about 66" long!  Thanks for sharing.
