Title: Swimming in pacific yew
Post by: SteveOKo922 on July 04, 2019, 10:59:43 am

Hi y'all, once again thanks for the warm welcomes. Posted yesterday about several pacific yew staves I got my hands on but I'm uncertain on gauging thier quality. If I could have some wise eyes take a look if appreciate it greatly. All are over 72' and at least 4in across. They still need another 6mo tonseason

The wife's touch in exchange for inundating our living room with staves ;D. I was thinking of selling a few as well, but don't know any bowyer's in WA. Thanks for the input.

Staves look good... the ones in the round will make stick bows (e.g, just chop away the belly and sides of the branch until it's a bow... don't worry if sapwood shows on the sides and edges of the belly)
