Yew billet bow build
Aksel:
Nice and informative posts! How thick are the limbs where the recurves begin to bend and will you thin them much more? Bow looks really promising :OK

Thanks Pat. I will keep it a self bow. I will rawhide back for protection of sapwood but that’s it.

Thanks Aksel. The thickness is about 1/2”- 5/8”. The width of limb just before the recurves is just under 1”. I left lots of room for removal if needed

Here’s my set up for taking the little twist out of the one limb. The bottom limb. It helps to keep things inline. I added a tiny bit of setback at same time. About 1/2”- 1”. Or so. Not really expecting to keep any of it be we shall see. I really just hoping to see it straightened up more then Anything. Thanks for looking.
Dave
