Wonky English Yew ELB (with full draw pic)

[Del the cat]

I made a gorgeous character Yew ELb a while back that exploded after about 300 shots. I started on 2 replacement so that the guy I'd made it for would have a choice.
The one he didn't choose was a rather scruffy thing with the pith running up the belly, a kink at one end, some sideways bend and some ugly dflex at the tips. Other than that it was fine
Anyhow, I finished it off and here's a composite pic showing unstrung, braced and full draw in one pic. (about 55# @ 28")

That would have been the one I picked.  Love it

[Pat B]

Me too! Who don't love wonky.   

[RyanY]

Phenomenal. Great job Del!

[Trapper Rob]

That's the one I would've picked

[Hamish]

Wonkey, yes, but knowing your skills Del, definitely not a donkey.

[Will B]

Beautiful bow. Love a wonky bow! 

[Kidder]

Amazing Del! I’m not sure I’d have the guts to put a tool on that stave if it was the last stave on earth!

[Bamboo-Bows]

Really cool. Ha! What a bow

[bjrogg]

Very nice Mr Cat. I’m sure it looks even better in hand.

That is a pretty cool looking bow.  Nice

[Del the cat]

Just been out roving with it, performs nicely, I used my "standard" field arrows 400 gn and it went about 200yards on one shot (slight tail wind). It out performed my expectations.
One of the guys took some pics, so I should have a nice live full draw pic later.

Neat tillering to my eyes, and a thing of beauty.

[PaSteve]

Beautiful execution on that wonky stick Del.

[Rowan Bows]

that tillering must have been a real challenge
