airkah:
Aksel - 100% agree with you. For ne, it is always fun to experiment with a new wood and see how it works.
Superdav95 - thabk you! I always obsess over the tiller, to the point I start to question everything so its nice to have soke confirmation it really does look good.
Piddler, Will B, TimBo, PASteve, Selfbowman- thank you guys so much. It always feels so amazing to hear from other bowyers that they like my bows.
Marc St Louis:
Nice bow. You did a fine job with that stave
PEARL DRUMS:
Nice bow and especially a cute little bugger you have there in your arms :)
IdahoMatt:
Great job on that one. I still haven’t tried yew either but it’s on the list for sure
JW_Halverson:
"I believe the fact that it takes longer than my lifetime for this wood to grow enough to make a useable stave means that the wood is owed a certain level of respect."
I completely understand where you are coming from. I lucked onto a piece of yew that Gilman Keasey cut and put up to cure long ago. I have sat on it for four years now and I am loathe to touch it with a tool until I have made a couple of successful billet bows or takedowns since that is ultimately what I will need to do with this wood. I feel I have no room for error and should have more than just a good idea what I am going to do, I should have a solid plan and the practice to pull it off.
It looks like you used your time wisely to work out a good plan for this one. It shows in the graceful lines and the performance numbers speak for themselves. Well done, well done indeed.
