Took my love for yew character bows to next level with this one. (with a nice tiller challenge too 😊)
It is 42 lbs at 30 inch and after a 100 shots it is still fine so im confident with the mechanics.
I am really stoked how it turned out, hope you like it...

Very nice yew character bow. Unbraced profile shows how well she's tillered. :OK

Beautiful bow, and I enjoyed the trip you took us on with the pictures too.

Now that piece took some patience. Beautiful work.

Unbelievable job there.
That is one of those staves whereby 99.9% of the world sees a mostly useless stick...0.1% sees a potential bow...and then just a fraction of that 0.1% is then able to transform it into that bow.

Challenging stave I’m sure. It turned out awesome

Impressive looking piece! Difficult character to tiller but looks like you nailed it.

In fact, i have used almost all the clean staves i could find in the estate where i am allowed to cut it. I selected this piece as a statement that there's still much more where you can make a bow from. looking at the result, i might have started the wrong way. ;D ;D ;D

Very, very nice! Hat off to the skill and patience that required.

All of the above! Very nice job!

True. I was telling a friend about my bow-building effort, and he said I should try to get some in a shop to sell. I told him there's no way I could charge enough to even make minimum wage for them! Some people, people with actual skills and knowledge and stuff, can make them fast enough to sell. Not me. Strictly a labor of love.
A bow like this one? It would take me a year or more, if I ever got it shootable at all. Very cool.

Just noticed the highland cows in the background! Are you in Scotland? I always had a soft spot for highland cows. They're so...fluffy. Delicious, too. -C-

They are kept here in the Dutch dunes for managing growth on walking paths, the just roam around. They are verry friendly and luckily so far nobody took one for their meat.. (which is great by the way (=)

That is definitely a gorgeous bow! Jawge

Amazing bow! If you have any photos of the stave could you please share with us?
