Oooh, I'd love to have that gorgeous piece of yew work, Pappy! Awfully nice piece of Pacific Northwest meets Tennessee holler.

--- Quote from: Pappy on October 24, 2025, 07:15:27 pm ---I though I would throw in a couple more things just to make it interesting , first a raw hide backed Hickory blank, the hickory was cut off the farm 6/7 years ago and the raw hide was some I made from a young doe [very thin], I was going to make a bow and decided to raw hide back it for no reason other than I hadn't done one in a while, when I got it to brace I seen it wasn't going to hit the weight I wanted for my hunting bows so put it away, it is a clean piece of pig nut Hickory wood in the RD style 64 n-n and ready to tiller. It would be great for someone wanting to make a lighter weight bow, should easily make 40lb. 2nd is a Yew bow I made in 2023 it is 48@26 and 58 n-n RD style. Very smooth and good shooter, I killed a couple of deer with it the year I built it so I know it is hunt worthy. It would be great with some with a draw length of 26 or less, I know a lot think they draw 28 but truthfully most don't. It has been shot a lot and pulled to 27 several times just for safety reasons. The Yew came from Keenan at the Classic 10 or maybe more years ago, really nice piece with just a little yew character , cow horn overlays with hemp wrap grip. :)

Oh man, im sorry I missed this when you first posted. Pappy thats a wonderful Seton gear you are offering up and I am truly grateful to you for your willingness to help out. Without you, and all the support from everyone else stepping up, id wonder if it was all worth it. Thank you.
Eric Krewson:
Because my donated bow has such a high poundage I suspect it won't be something most people would want as a selection. I wonder if an outright auction for the bow would be better than a random drawing. That way someone who likes higher poundage bows would get just what they like.
I shot 60-65 pound bows until old age made me drop back, I shoot 45# bows now.
WhistlingBadger:
Wow, this is quite a selection! Here's my humble offering: A set of pronghorn rawhide backing strips. Each is 2" x 38". Pronghorn hide is very thin and easy to work with, almost transparent when dry.
