Ash backed Yew Warbow
Marc St Louis:
Made this bow for a guy in MN. It's Pacific Yew backed with White Ash that's just under 1 1/2" wide and about 1 1/8" thick at the center. It's 76" N to N and pulls about 110# @ 32". The nocks are made from WB horn and the top nock has a double groove in it. I backed this bow with a flat sawn strip of Ash that's about 1/4" thick so that it would have the natural look of sapwood. Here's a few pictures
I'm pulling the bow to about 30" in the full draw picture as 110# is a bit too much for me but it is quite smooth to draw

Verrrrry nice Marc ;D
Like the look of the ash on yew ..... was it a board that it didn't have sap wood on it ?
I see you tweeked the tips a bit .....why ?

Marc St Louis:
Thanks guys
Chris; The guy wanted an Ash backed Yew so I just ripped the sapwood off. What do you mean "tweaked the tips" I did glue in a few inches of reflex in the bow
Marlon; It's from making all these heavy draw weight bows :). This draw weight is something I could work into
