I'll have to watch this one! I don't disagree at all DC, I have personally never made a yew bow. I'm still pitiling with the stave I got from Ryan at the classic. That being said, the one your working on would be one I would pick out! I love the knarly ones.

Simson, that is some great advice. I will definitely remember that on my next one.

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

That is looking good, you are doing very good on a very challenging stave. :) A man has to be ready for heart break on staves like that but when you pull one off it makes all the others worth it. :)

Thanks guys. I'm half expecting it to break. This is by far the most challenging stave I've worked on but it wasn't as bad as I expected. I still have to lose a few pounds and shoot it in so the jury is still out.
