This bow started with a stave that had a slight natural deflex. I gently flipped the tips to gain back some reflex. The bow is 64" long and pulls 50#@27". It's backed with sturgeon skins both for aesthetics and added protection on the back. The tip overlays are buffalo horn and the handle wrap is tanned beaver tail with kangaroo lace. The finish is tru oil and the string is D97 with mink fur silencers.

Everything about this bow is fantastic. I especially like the color popping out of the tip overlays.

Love the bows you create. Been watching and learning from you on the “tube” for some time. I just pulled a yew stave out to start one. I had an outer limb failure on the one I was working on. It’s inspiring to see what is possible.

Thanks, y'all!

that was a pleasant surprise. normally the buffalo horn is jet black with little variation.

Thanks, snag. I'm glad to hear the videos are helpful. Hope your next yew bow works out for you!
