LOL, yes it has been established that the bow is hickory/ipe/hickory.  It was not the maker that claimed it was yew, but the seller I purchased it from second hand.  I am wood wiser now of course.  And as stated, thank the Gods I didn't pay a yew price ;)

Prarie Bowyer:
that yellow tint make me think it could be osage.  Rudder was selling Argentine Osage which is supposed to be straighter than the northern stuff.  However most of the bows Rudder sells are hickory or Ipe.

I like the looks of it.  Honestly it's good looking bow and Ipe adds performace to a bo in my opinion.  Unless you are set on Yew you can get a great performing multilam bow for MUCH less than Yew and not wory about deforresting an increasingly rare tree.  ::)

You could make that belly look like yew with a little thinned out cherry stain.

Cool idea!
