Very nice bow Mike. Is this you getting them all finished before you paddle off into the Canadian wilderness?

That is a beautiful bend Mike.  That looks like a very nice sinew job too.  Glad to see you posting bows!

Very nice.  Reminds me of a little Elm bow I made a few years ago.  Excellent shooting bow and quite fast so I would assume yours is the same

Something like that Nathan  ;D
Dwardo - sin yew why are things like this always obvious when someone else points them out!

Thanks for all the kind comments fellas. I like this bow but can't really shoot it due to a thing I have wrong with my hand....it's looking for a new home at the moment   :-\

Let he who is without sinyew cast the first arrow.

Nicely executed design, not at all what I was expecting from you.  I figured a short yew bow for you would be something about 66" long!  Thanks for sharing.
