Well I hate to be the one holding you guys up. But you are going to have to be patient with me on this one. ;D I called Keenan last night and had a nice little visit about yew. I didn't know anything about yew. Well now I don't know much, but I know more than I did before. It turns out that I have been leaving too much sapwood on it. I knew there were types you used heartwood, and types you used sapwood. But I didn't know you had to remove 2/3 of the sapwood and leave the rest. ??? After I started removing the sapwood last night I can understand why. It is a lot like working willow or poplar. :) Anyway, that was the whole point to this friendship bow circle. To make friends and learn to use new wood types. And if we make a few bows along the way that is good too. Don't worry Chris, I may be getting all sappy and tearing up on you. But I'm still going to make you a MANLY bow. :'( Justin
Justin Snyder:
I checked Brian's stats, he was on last Friday. Maybe he took a little vacation. I sent him a PM to let us know he is OK. Justin
Pappy:
I sent him one also,just to be sure.Ya so far I have worked on 2 different kinds of wood I have never used before.What did you think about the tiller on Pat's?I think it is pretty close.
