Nice job, Ian. It takes skill to tiller out a character yew stave to those end results. Well done. How long did it take you to tiller?
Ian.:
Thanks everyone,
From having a rough braced stave to where you see it now I managed it in a little over an hour. The bow its self hasn't taken any set but he stave had some de-flex to being with. The goal for this one is distance hence the faster tillering.

Hi Ian,
Great looking bow, any chance of more detailed info on the dimensions etc same as given by MR trust for their bows? Did you model it on one of the MR bows or try for the best you could get from the stave?
Craig.
Ian.:
Thanks Craig
This bow was a punt really. Its not modelled on any MR bow I know of, the stave was very uneven so trying to follow any given set of dimensions would have been futile. The section is close to a typical MR bow. I do want to make another Yew bow but a clean on this time. When I start that one I will keep a step by step of it and I will follow as close as I can an MR bow.
Ian
