Bryce (Pinecone) Sinew Backed Yew Build Along
http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,36617.0.html


Here is what Bryce had say of his build: 
Thought I might try a build along. Been a looooong time since I've done this type of bow so bare with me    Here we go. Tools: heat gun, coping saw, block sander, 5/8 chisel, nock file or chainsaw file, #49 rasp, micro plane rasp, tape measure, chalk line, cabinet scraper, hatchet, and of course a draw knife. Materials: Old Yew Stave  This is a piece of yew I got from a guy in Klamath Falls, OR who used to strip the bark for cancer research. It's about 8 yrs. old badly checked back, as it was left outside in the sun and weather for years. Free yew is Better then no yew  the heartwood is most likely still good for bow making   

And there are seventeen pages of comments and pictures.  You really have to check the link out to appreciate the bow. 

Here is what some forum members had to say:
