Blacksmith's *Abbeygale* 74" Yew Warbow 120#@33"

<< < (2/2)

ajbruggink:
Excellent work!

ceolith:
thank you.  :)

Del the cat:
Lovely full draw curve. :)
Nice big bend from a relatively short bow  :o.
I particularly like that streaky knot just below the top nock, nice feature :)
I notice it has a fairly low ring count, hopefully this will be another small step in dispelling all the nonsense about needing high ring counts to make heavy bows.

ceolith:
About 35rings per inch, yes. What i can say after nearly 500 yew bows is, that you need a ringcount between 25 and 40 to reach a solid drawweight over 120lbs. Ringcounts over 40rpi are nice for the eyes, but no hint to have good yew.

WillS:
Beautiful as always Michael!
