72" yew war bow

<< < (7/14) > >>

duffontap:
If you do nothing but touch up that limb you'll have a 100 pounds or more--no problem.  With its less-than-average length, I would shoot for right around that and not push my luck.  Very nice bow Pat.

Pat B:
Thanks Josh. Yew , and especially thin grained yew, is a wonder to work. I would like to try a lighter hunting weight yew bow next...but I won't take any lessons from Justin! ;D   I will even out the tiller and see what she comes out at. I am pleased with the way she has turned out. I still say the hardest part was making and fitting the horn nocks. >:(    Pat

Justin Snyder:
Is the horn some you got from me? You better be carefull.  Justin

Pat B:
YUP! That's the ones.  took 4 tips to make 2 nocks. ;D  At least I didn't put them on backwards like I did with that little ERC bow I built. ::)   Pat

Justin Snyder:
Yes, but after I touched them do you want them that close to yew? Justin
