Accipitor, that yew looks great, but you have made a mistake.  My draw is 29" not 27"  You still have a little work to do. . .

This bow is as wild as the tree grew it. No heat correction,  steam, or anything else. Its got dog legs, prop twist, pin knots, knots, rotten spots, holes,  tips dont lien up, and handle/sting alignment is non existent.  But it shoots and shoots well. 

Figured id leave this one " Untamed ".

I love the yew bow, and I can't wait to shoot it!  :laugh:

Sleek, that sure is one wild stick! That is one heck of a name for it to! "Untamed"! That handle looks pretty sleek too!  :laugh: Patrick

Being in my position is a bit strange.  >:D but I am wondering where my slice of wood will come from!

Well I had a bow making marathon with Onebowwonder today. I was able to finish tillering my trade bow today. This thing flat smokes an arrow. I can't wait to get it all finished up! Patrick
