Latest ELB

Wot? Another?








I was slightly reluctant to post as it just another Yew ELB and the full draw shot looks like it has a hinged upper limb...it's not, it's just that swooping grain and dip in the limb which you can see in the other shots.
She's 50# at 28" and shoots fast and sweet, I can enjoy her company for a few weeks before she goes to a new home :'(

 Love it Del and love the swooping character dips, I don't think there is such a thing as "Just another (yew) ELB"  Shear beauty. Congratulations on another incredible bow

Yeah, I'm busted... gotta admit that having done 3 in fairly short order  I'm getting quicker and slicker, still not my fave job.
The buffing wheels help too ;D.

I love your bows Del, also like the pic with the cuppa, I think that may be your secret! Seriously don't stop making and posting, yours are great examples of a true classic.

Beutiful bow. Man, I found your website the other day while looking for information on yew longbows, and after a minute I was like, "hey, that guy posts on primitive archer". Very nice bow once again.
