New Yew bow build along

<< < (3/18) > >>

Knotty:
Is the Buildalong going to happen?

Ian.:
It will happen, all be it along with five other bows so progress is slow.

Update; knocks have been put on and the bow has been worked down to about 1250 grams which is about right for the weight I am going for.

Although the stave is really good it works horribly, splits and tears about as bad as any wood I've used before. This is more of a good sign for the final bow though. Next stage will be finishing the knocks and stringing it for the first time. As it's already the right physical weight I don't expect to spend much time working the limbs down.

Knotty:
Well.. That was a fast buildalong 😢

Ian.:
Don't worry I've been videoing the process

Knotty:
Ah great! Looking forward to watching the video 😉
