That's stunning.  What a gorgeous colour.  Very nice shape to the tiller as well, congrats on a beautiful bow!

That is a sweet piece of yew hammertime.  Nice work!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Nice job on the tiller. Yew is pretty wood for sure.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Nicely done! Gotta love yew. Good tiller... it's definitely a bendy handle bow. Do you find it hard to brace your bow with the tip overlays like that?

Thanks guys!adb...no not really I use a commercial bow stringer though.Other specs on the bow 1/2 tips tapering out to 1 3/8 at the handle.Cannot decide on a wrap so for now its as is.taken a little set over a 100 shots or so but it's up there on my list of favorites-Hammertime
