This is a lumpy pacific yew I just finished. 118# @ 31”. It’s a replica of MR81A3966. Only had the measurements of the center, 7” from handle, 7” from tip and tip insertion to horn, so the rest was extrapolated to achieve tiller. Cross section is a squashed rectangle. 79” NTN. Horns are yak and I love how they look compared to the black cow or buffalo horn. You can even see the wood inside the horn. Lovely piece of snaky wood. I reduced the sapwood the way the originals had so you’ll see it’s thin and has ring violations. Had a micro crack audibly show up about 50 shots in so did my first ever silk wrap and super glue job. Hope it keeps holding. Very happy with how it came out. Made an out-of-season Christmas string for it too ;).
