Sweet Pappy!!!! Congrats
Looking great Knapper!!!!
Working on one of my candidates and would like some opinions. I struggled a bit with this Yew stave. It had some twist and need a bit of straightening (plain did not want to heat bend). When I was close to weight it started to twist right at the handle so I cut in two pieces (one one each side) of heart wood to stiffen that area and it seem to have worked. I've put a 100 of so arrow through it and it seems to be holding up well.
Question #1..... The back is so white would you skin it??
Question #2..... If you received this bow with my attempt at stiffening the handle would you be happy with it???
Looking for honest opinions..... I have several candidates aside from this Yew ELB…
