Carson (CMB):
Thanks for sharing Bill. I was just curious what kind of ring counts the Italian yew has. I wonder if CP reserves the higher ring count stuff for the 200lb warbows he makes. Beautiful looking wood. On that full draw shot, I would say you need to bend at the waist and knees more to keep your shoulders in line with the line of the arrow. I don't know anything about warbow technique, so take that with a grain of salt. ;)

Looking at this photo I can see that I need to pull my right shoulder back which will give me another 2" or so.
The red mark is 26" my normal target bow draw length, so I think I am drawing about 29" here.
Anyway my coach Poseidon is happy with my progress ;)
Bill.

What's the over all length of the arrow you're pulling? If I want to draw to 30", I use a 30" arrow. That's 30" from the valley of the nock to the base of the head. That way, I'm not over or under drawing. For me, drawing a warbow is hard enough, never mind guessing what draw length I'm at.
If you want to work up to a longer draw, make some different sized arrows 1" longer up to your final goal.
AH:
How long is that bow :o
It looks long even for a warbow...
Not that the legnth takes away from it's beauty...
if you guys have not seen this video, here it is. Shows Celestino at work building yew warbows, and them on the tiller. Real neat.

Avoiding all the standard arguement over what is and what isn't a warbow, lemme just throw out a hearty congratulations to you on receiving what is very obviously a great bow. Celestino is an amazing artisan and artist. His work with yew is just a little slice of heaven and I am envious of your new weapon. I'm sure you will enjoy it for years to come.

It's 80 " long, Maybe looks more because I am only 68". Glad you like it and the video.
