Update on 120# yew warbow - I don't like to complain, but...
WillS:
It's not gonna win. I'll have full draw pics up by the end of the week. I've superglued it down and I'm pretending it didn't happen.

10/10 for determination Will, but as one who's managed to break two bows at full draw in less than two weeks :o :-[ (one a very nice 110# maple/ipe/ipe warbow and the other a 70# self-hickory hideousity), I'd thoroughly recommend a hard-hat, safety glasses and a cricketer's bollock-guard, prior to venturing any further ;)
Wishing you all the best and yours sincerely (still picking out the splinters),
John T. :)

Yeah, that sucks. What exactly happened? A splinter just popped up while you were sanding? That's crazy! You must of been an evil man in a past life!
WillS:
Yup, I was going over the belly with 80grit to get the scraper marks out and turned the bow around and there it was! It's 4" long and deep enough to give me the jitters but I've come so far with this bloody thing that if I give up now just because of a stupid little splinter I'll regret it forever.
You're right, there must be some bad karma floatin' around...
adb:
Stay calm and tiller on. ;)
