71&1/4" ntn Italian Yew ELB, 75lbs@30", opinions on tiller?
Ruddy Darter:
Possibly on the string Del, I got no serving or nock points on yet so just doing it by eye, and there is a little snake to the bow that may affect how it looks hand placement. I've just put a coat of danish oil on and will show the bow properly to get a better picture when done.
superdav95, thank you very much.

Ruddy Darter:
I thought I'd end with a few pics of the finished bow. (Hopefully try some arrows later in the week..).
(My friend is a fan of the 'Vikings' series and wanted to name the bow after 'Lagartha', so I wrote her name in Viking runes with gold leaf with Odin's ravens and her round shield on the back of the bow. :D )

Muskyman:
Great bow. Great show. And as far as Katheryn Winnick goes, well.
superdav95:
Very cool and love the details!

Thank you supadav95,
this bow got me revisiting previous projects that I shelved, I'm currently working down my first yew attempt from a few years back, I just resquared it to new dimensions keeping as much wood as possible while losing my mistakes and previous and questionable measurements. I've ended up with 29mm x 26mm at the centre, and about 69" in length. I have no idea what weight I could hope for but hopefully a nice little bow with a 28"ish draw for the indoor season. I'm just tactically straightening out in a few places with heat to hopefully avoid any side torque, and a couple of punky knots I missed on the first outing. It has a little natural deflex so I may have a go at gently recurving the tips after most of the tillering. It's a tight grained and dense piece of Pacific yew. A nice little project before I attempt a major heavier draw weight bow project for myself.
R.D.
