Nice bow, take downs rule!

the rings are very very thin. the sapwoodrings are 0.01181 inch
yes, german yew is excellent. but only the yew trees in the bavarian mountains

finish: 2 layers linseed oil (1 day drying) and 2 layers tung oil varnish, cooked with linseed oil (1 week drying)
it`s a finish for violin  http://kremer-pigmente.de/shopint/index.php?cat=0604&product=79055

Sweet looker! Kind of an American flatbow style :)

Reminds me of the yew bows Wally Miles made!

BEAUTIFUL!  I love the smooth glassy finish, the character, the profile, the natural wood look.  Very very nice!
