Character yew bow
bjrogg:
Well done sir. I like your recurve shape. It’s not terribly aggressive, but I think it’s still pretty effective.
Nice bow
Bjrogg
Aksel:
Thank you all! :D
Except that I don´t how much practical experience in how recurves properly should be dealt with and look was I expecting this kind of character bow to be more difficult to tiller, but since the more attention one has to pay to details, like a smooth thickness taper before even straining the limbs, usually the easier the tillering job. Instead of using a tiller tree am I these days only using hand pulled bow scales and the reflection in a window. I feel i am getting a more accurate tiller and putting less strain on the bow this way.
Although I am very pleased with how it shoots was I quite disappointed with most of the recurves pulling out. Think I had too high MC in the stave to begin with... Have to try it again.

Well done that’s a beauty. Not an easy piece of wood either.
joachimM:
what's not to like about this bow? Extra points for simplicity and purity!
Thorsten:
Congrats, beautiful kind of a bow. I'm impressed, how the wood is bending, allthough itˋs more like stuctured by the sea - which creates waves! :-)
Looking forward to do one of those my self - fear is the main feeling…
