Del's 130# Yew Warbow
bowmo:
Pretty darn awesome. I would need another set of arms to pull that thing.
meanewood:
Great bow Del
The real enjoyment comes from the whole process. Find the tree, get it anyway you can, then turn it into a thing of such beauty with the risk of failure hanging over every move.
I don't know how you can possibly part with it!
About that 'reflex that develops' as the stave dries. Would it not be brought back to the original trunk shape soon into tillering. I've noticed this seems to be the case with the woods I have used?
BowSlayer:
