Yes thank you del, thats good to know!
mikekeswick:
Lucky man! That's a nice stave.
Yeah yew sapwood can handle minor violations.
I've seen some yew bow where people haven't followed a ring anywhere eg. just cut through the sapwood rings to leave a flat surface....i'm not recommending that but it can be done....
Gus:
Excellent Thread Y'all!
I've got two yew staves, one top notch and one third rate (problem child) that are ready to go standing in the corner of my office.
Been studying them for about four months now, along with a couple of Pacific Dogwood 1st's.
The wood is ready to go but the butcher isn't... :)
I'll be watching and hopefully learning.

sorry for the long wait, here are some pics of the little progress iv'e made, i have it bending a little on the floor tiller, the handle areas is bending nice, but i need to take more off mid limb and maybe the tips, i made the decision that i will go with double side knocks out of antler
sorry, i didn't get any floor tiller pics, but it would have almost been non noticeable.
thanks for looking
noel
