mullet:
It's the angle of the picture, Pat. There is still a lot of wood to take off, yet.
Also the second picture is the bow flipped over. The heartwood is very thin there.
Elktracker:

Man Pat you must have a good eye cause I was like what where! lol

Left S.C. about 3:30 this morning and made it home with some daylite left. I had a great time but the deer didn't cooperate the last weekend of the season. Well, got my Jeep unloaded and decided to start bending the tips.
I'm going to do one at a time and let them cool overnight. When I met Keenan at the Classic last year I got some good advice about Yew. This is the first time I have tried bending it with Dry heat, I was really suprised. It bent like butter melting, I doubt I'll ever try steam again, never enough hands at once. ::)
Here's the first tip, the one with the bad knot that was sawed through. I was cringing when I had the heat on it but it held together so far. Tip number two tomorrow night and then bending them some more if needed along with the limbs. I like curves. ;D
Keenan:
That's looking great Eddie
mullet:
Thanks, Keenan.
