Yew longbow in progress

<< < (2/2)

Boofus:
Willie and Ruddy, I very much appreciate your responses. In answer to Willie here are some more pics with the info you asked. Where would I get Flax from? Hum... Off to google I go lol.

willie:
that big knot goes all the way thru and there was no additional width allowd when the sides were cut past the knot

what does the bow look like if you just  use the 66 good inches?

Boofus:
Willie, the rest of the stave looks gorgeous. 66" may just be too short for what I'm trying to force this piece of wood to do.

willie:
maybe so.  did you mention what draw weight you are going for?

Boofus:
Willie, I was going to attempt 80+lbs if I could use all 74" I have monkey arms so my draw is 30" at 66" and a 30" draw wouldn't be to safe at high weight. In fact 30" of draw scares me lol.
